If you want to install a TRV on your old radiators or an existing thermostatic radiator valve has started to leak, it’s worth noting that you can fix it yourself. In fact, knowing how to install a TRV won’t just save you money on labour - it’ll also help you save on your energy bills, too.

One of the best ways to save energy at home is to be in full control of your heating system. Most people don’t realise just how much control thermostatic radiator valves can give them. With a TRV on your radiators, you control exactly how much hot water enters the radiator - allowing you to heat your house when you need to without wasting any excess.
