Hi,
I have a radiator in my front room which although hot to touch is not heating the room.
The radiator is hot to touch all over except the fins at the back.
This is the first time that we have had problems. Normally it heats perfectly.
A week ago, my combi boiler stopped producing hot water but would do so when the heating was on. British Gas attended and explained that some valve had failed which they replaced. It was also explained that the pressure in the heating system was too high even though the pressure gauge indicated between 1.25 bar.
The pressure was then apparently corrected even though the gauge then indicated 0 bar.
Another radiator in a utility room which doesn’t have thermostat valves (unlike all of the others) and is on a permanently open circuit (if that’s the correct term) was only lukewarm but heated up after a quick bleed.
Could there be air in the whole system?
I’ve only switched on the front foot radiator as it was a bit chilly, the rest of the house is not too bad.
Many thanks
