Possible Causes
Air in heating system, Sludged radiators or pipework, Undersized pump, Partially closed valves or balancing issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow system to cool slightly before bleeding radiators.
- 1. Bleed radiators: Starting with the highest radiators, bleed air until water flows steadily. Top up system pressure as needed.
- 2. Check valves: Ensure all radiator and isolation valves are open. Verify that bypass valves are correctly set.
- 3. Pump speed: Increase pump speed if adjustable and observe improvement.
- 4. System cleaning: If some radiators remain cold at the bottom, the system may need powerflushing and inhibitor added by a heating professional.
