Hi Limoges_shopper, Thanks for offering your expertise! I recently bought my first home and I have no idea about maintaining a boiler / hot water radiator system (other than bleeding that is). I would like to learn some more about what kind of system I have etc etc. So here are my Questions: 1) Any suggestions on maintenance of the boiler / radiators? 2) Any suggestions on bleeding the rads? - Is there a particular order I should do it?
