    Radiator not working
    One of my radiators is not working. The pipe up to the individual radiator thermostat is hot but the radiator only gets luke warm. I have had a plummer around he put a new thermostat on the radiator, charged me a frtune but its still not working. I can't afford to get him back. Any ideas?

    Is this a steam boiler or hot water ?

    If the plumber put on a part to fix your situation the return service call should be for free since the work he did is not working.

    You could have air in the system.
