Removing radiators for decorating
I need to remove some radiators for redecoration. A question to our resident heating engineers. I'm reasonably confident about draining and taking the rads off. Is there anything specific to ASHPs I need to be aware of? I know I'll have to repressurise and maybe add some inhibitor. Is that about it? Is the inhibitor used anything special? How much would I need to add if removing/replacing say 3 out of 13 rads?
thanks
