The lifespan of a radiator can vary widely depending on various factors. A well-maintained radiator can last around 10 to 15 years or even longer. However, poorly maintained radiators may need replacement within a few years.
The quality of materials used greatly influences radiator lifespan. Radiators made from high-quality materials like cast iron or stainless steel tend to last longer.
Regular maintenance, including bleeding, chemical dosing, cleaning, and corrosion checks, extends radiator life and reduces costly repairs. Eventually, older radiators become less efficient, causing higher bills and reduced heat output.
Modern radiator technology has evolved, introducing improvements in appearance and functionality. Newer models, such as vertical radiators, are popular due to sleek design and efficiency, enhancing your property's aesthetics.
