Why are 2 of my radiators not working?
If just one (or a few) of your radiators aren’t heating up, the most common reason for this is trapped air. If you’ve just turned the heating back on after the summer, air can become trapped in your radiators, causing them to be warm at the bottom but cold at the top. Your radiator should soon be nice and warm.

How are the upstair radiators connected to the boiler?
Upstairs had water line in, valve is open. Two radiators are connected to each other, sitting side by side. Air has been bled out of them. Expansion tank is metal and in the basement rafters above the boiler. The two lines going to the upstair radiators are at the very end of the system, about 6-8 feet from the circulation pump.
Why are my radiators not working as well as they should?
This helps prevent the build-up of limescale which can cause damage to the pipe joints, clog up the central heating pump and, together with some rust, cause a layer of ‘silt’ to build up inside radiators. All of these make the central heating less efficient, which may mean your boiler and pump are working harder than they need to.
