Herz Poor Circulation / Balancing Issue

Boiler runs but radiators remain cold or only lukewarm

Advertisements

Possible Causes

Air in radiators, closed radiator valves, clogged Herz system filter, undersized or failing circulation pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Radiators and pipes can be hot. Use gloves when bleeding.

  • Check valves: Ensure all radiator valves and any isolation valves near the Herz boiler are fully open.
  • Bleed radiators: Starting from the lowest floor, bleed each radiator until water flows without air.
  • Clean filter: If a Herz dirt separator or magnetic filter is installed, isolate and clean it thoroughly.
  • Check pump operation: Feel the flow and return pipes near the boiler. If there is little temperature difference and radiators are cold, the pump may be failing and require replacement.
