Insufficient Heating Output / Circulation Problem
Radiators are only partially warm; the furnace runs continuously, but the home does not reach the set temperature.

Possible Causes
Air in heating system, sludged radiators or pipework, undersized pump, partially closed valves, or balancing issues.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow system to cool slightly before bleeding radiators.
- 1. Bleed radiators: Starting with the highest radiators, bleed air until water flows steadily. Top up system pressure as needed.
- 2. Check valves: Ensure all radiator and isolation valves are open. Verify that bypass valves are correctly set.
- 3. Pump speed: Increase pump speed if adjustable and observe improvement.
- 4. System cleaning: If some radiators remain cold at the bottom, the system may need powerflushing and inhibitor added by a heating professional.
