Hi all
had a new boiler installed during the week and converted from an old gravity hot water system with a circulating pump on the return converted to a Y plan system. To reduce the costs I've done the pipe work and the plumber will be back to check everything over.
Radiators upstairs and downstairs bled. Boiler fires and radiators downstairs get hot, but radiators upstairs remain cold. When turning the hot water on, a big gurgle of air went through the cylinder.
I think there is air in the system causing the upstairs rads to be cold even though they are full of water. The house has been extended twice with pipe work added on and added on.
The plumber will be back tomorrow to check everything, just need to get the rads upstairs heating.
I was planning on shutting down the rads downstairs and forcing the flow upstairs and seeing if that had any effect. The other plan was to drain the system, re fill it and see if that had any effect. Finally I was thinking of back filling the system.
Anything else I could try?
Tks
