Hi all,
I have an oil fired central heating system - old , but very high quality, according
to the guy who serviced it last year. When we bought the house last year,
it had not been serviced in years.
The rads upstairs heat up slowly and only go to luke warm. THey are warmer
at the top than the bottom, so aren't airlocked. One of the rads
upstairs, which is closest to the boiler downstairs, heats up well, but when
it is on, the rads upstairs dont heat at all.
In general, the closer to the boiler, the better the rad. I ahve tried some
amateur rad balancing to no avail.
I think I possibly need a new pump to improve the system.
Any other advice, on what I should do.
