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.
