Hi Dan. I've come across several of this type..... Here is the solution. You need an operative to attend to confirm your boiler's flow/return temps are ok at max power. If that's fine then the next step is to establish why the heat boiler generates does not travel to radiators......You might need to partially drain down.....dose with system cleaners and run for a couple of days......drain down....dose with inhibitors & balance. You will win the battle.

The Engineer that Service your boiler would have been in the best position to advised you on the problem and what action you needed to take. You will need a qualified person to take a look and advised.

Generally a power flush is not the answer although many will do this just to create a job. I would recommend you get us or another engineer to check the system for you. This is not unusual.

Try balancing first .close down rads that get hot, then open up quarter turn if others get hot.bernie .menehan gas services.

Hi Dan I would initially get a suitably qualified heating engineer to check if the system is balanced well. I would then bleed out any air from the system. If the problem doesn't resolve then you may have some form of blockage, build up of sludge within the radiators and pipe work. This may be the case more so if the pipe work to the radiators is microbore (8 or 10mm). A power flush for your system may cost you around £350 including the chemicals. Installing a magnetic filter may also help but won't be as thorough as a power flush. This option will probably cost in the region of £250 (supply & fit). Hope this helps. Sam (eps)
