TRVs are one of the most efficient ways of controlling the heat in your home and by installing TRVs you could save up to 40% on heating bills, as independently tested by the University of Salford.When set at the correct level they will keep the room at the desired temperature.As they are installed on each radiator, you can have different settings in each room and they can be turned off in rooms that aren’t been used.Now you will need your adjustable spanner to remove the bleed plug (and the blank on the other end). This step is important to prevent leakage as new plugs alone will not be enough to prevent leakage so the threads will need to be wrapped with PTFE Tape. This is especially true when using new plugs on older radiators.
