Learn how to repair and install radiators in House Flipper. This guide covers everything you need to know about radiator systems and jobs, from basic repairs to full installations.

Hey there, new flipper! So, you've stumbled upon a house that's a bit chilly, huh? That usually means it's time to deal with the radiators. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. Let's break down how to get those heating systems up and running. ### Radiator Repair & Installation In House Flipper, radiators are part of the larger 'Installations' category. You'll encounter them in various jobs, sometimes needing a simple fix, other times a complete replacement or installation. What you'll be doing: * Repairing: Sometimes a radiator is just broken. You'll need to identify the faulty one and use your tools to fix it. This usually involves a quick interaction. * Installing: For houses that don't have radiators, or if you're doing a full renovation, you'll need to install them. This means buying new radiators from the store and placing them in the correct spots. * Plumbing: Radiators are connected to a plumbing system. You might need to install or repair the 'Radiator Plumbing System' itself. This is crucial for the radiators to actually work. Where to find Radiator Jobs: Keep an eye on your tablet for new job offers. Missions like "Radiators" are a dead giveaway that you'll be working with heating systems. Other jobs might have radiators as a secondary objective. Important Considerations: * The Store: When you need to buy new radiators or plumbing parts, head to the store. Look under the 'Installations' tab. You'll find various types of radiators and the necessary plumbing components. * Placement: Make sure you place radiators in rooms where heating is expected. Usually, this means living areas, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Don't forget to connect them to the plumbing! * Buyer Preferences: While not always explicitly stated for radiators, remember that buyers have preferences. A house with a fully functional heating system is generally more appealing, especially for families like the Jonson Family or buyers like Veronica Liptson. Pro-Tip: Sometimes, a job might require you to install a 'Towel Radiator Plumbing System' in a bathroom. These are just a specific type of radiator, so the process is similar to installing a regular one. Don't be afraid to experiment! The more you work with installations, the faster you'll become. Happy flipping!
