Forced Hot Water baseboard COLD COLD
I have forced hot water baseboard heat. My two upstairs baseboards are cold when heat is fine in the rest of the lower house. I beld the unit and still it's cold. I pulled at least 2 quarts of water out but no air at all. Any sugesstions on what to do next. Thanks

Make sure boiler pressure is at least 12 pounds on guage. Low boiler water pressure will prevent circulation on second floor.

IT WORKED = I got in late last night from work and first thing this AM I checked the pressure. The pressure was around 6- 8 for some reason. I increased it to 20 and all is well. I never thought to check it as it wasnt ever a problem. Thanks you know what you are doing

Easy does it with the pressure. Usually 12 to 14 pounds is enought for a 2 story. Glad you got it going.
