We have had problem with air in the central heating system since we moved in. The pipework has been looked at and nothing fundamentally wrong with the setup has been found.
Have had two plumbers in but still have problems. We need to bleed regularly and have gurgling from the radiators.
So far we have extended the overflow pipework in the loft to give a bigger drop (I think thats the termanology) and played about with the pump speeds.
I've also had all the radiators off the wall and cleaned all the rubbish out of them.
Next stage is to try replacing the pump in case it is sucking air in, but is there anything else it can be?
I seem to remember reading about something in the boiler itself that coukld be causing air to enter, and seem to remember something about it being limescale buildup - does that mean anything to anyone.
I'm just trying to eliminate everything before I shell out yet more money on something that might not work.
Thanks
