my rads are not at hot as they use to be

[LucyMoo]

my rads use to get so hot that you couldnt touch them for longer than a couple of secs even if that

i have had a new boiler / cent heating install 2 years ago all with new pipes.. i have taken the air out of each one till water starts squirting out but im sure they can heat up more than they do now.. temp is on full aswell on the boiler.. pls help

Are some hotter than others

If so, consult the FAQ post ,fifth one down and balance your system

 

[LucyMoo]

no they are all at constant heat, 75% of the original heat i use to enjoy from them, all rads are also on max at the valves ! wonder why?

 

[Bahco]

Think you will need to get someone in to investigate

 

[Softus]

What was the old boiler / what is the new boiler / which pipes were replaced / what gauge of pipe has been used

 

[suffolklad]

why was the boiler pipes replaced if they got that hot before?

 

[LucyMoo]

i meant to say i had a brand new system fitted, there was no central heating in the house, its the standard thick pipes used

new boiler is valliant ectoec 8310 or something along them lines, combi condensing

il call someone in then

thanks

Hang on

How can the rads be not as hot as they used to be if there were no radiators fitted to start with?

Or do you mean that your new system used to get red hot?

tis confusing (in the style of Russel Brand)

You have not said if the house is warm enough. This is the objective, not the temperature of the radiators.

Was the system protected from corrosion?

How often do you have to top up the pressure?

Do you live in a hard water area?
