Hi, All,
A week before Easter and we had cold rads downstairs and hot upstairs, so after checking for air blocks etc, assumed it must be pump, as it had been on for 15 + years.
Call well known Heating Specialist as we have service cover. They eventually turn up, rattle around in airing cupboard and say "That's OK now" and try to make a quick exit, but I ask to let me know what they had done. "Turned up the pump speed to full" was the reply, It worked for about 10 minutes after he had gone and then back to square one!
Next time they arrived after callout, diagnosed airlock, turned all rads off both ends. Turned up boiler to full. No luck frustrated. Then they replaced the pump. Still no luck. Sorry end of shift, will come back another day"
Last callout involved replacing a thermostat which seemed to do the trick, but now the downstairs rads seem to be heating up on a random basis, sometimes a couple heat up and the rest don't. Sometimes they all heat up.
Any clues as I am puzzled!
I will call them yet again once I can see any pattern.
Thanks
