Possible Causes

Sludge in system, Partially closed radiator valves, Incorrectly balanced system, Pump running at too low speed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Radiators can be hot; use gloves when adjusting valves.

Steps:

  • Ensure all TRVs and lockshield valves are open, then gradually balance by slightly closing the hottest radiators.
  • Bleed radiators to remove air.
  • Increase the pump speed on the IVT boiler if adjustable.
  • If some radiators remain cold, a technician should power-flush the system and clean filters.
