Possible Causes

Insufficient system flow, Undersized radiators, Pump failure or incorrect speed, Blocked system filter or valves

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before working on hydraulic components.

  • 1. Check all valves: Ensure isolation valves under the furnace and on heating circuits are fully open.
  • 2. System filter: Clean any installed system filter or strainer to restore flow.
  • 3. Pump verification: Confirm that the pump is running and set to an appropriate speed. Replace if noisy, seized, or not circulating.
  • 4. System design: If the boiler is oversized for the radiator system, consult a heating engineer about adding emitters or adjusting control settings to reduce cycling and high flow temperatures.
