I recently converted from oil to gas heat in a 4 zone home-- 2 with baseboard and 2 with cast iron radiators. A new cast iron Burnham boiler was installed to take the place of an old steel boiler.
My prolems is with the radiators-- where I have lost heat seven times in one month. Apparently air gets trapped in the raditors. The installer arrives to drain the system of the trapped air and it works again for a few day or even as long as a week only to occur again. I have bled the radiators so that's not the problem. I now know how to remove the trapped air from the boiler by draining the bolier zone but don't want to have to do that on a regular basis.
The installer is good about coming back and he sympathizes with me but I need answers and not stop gap measures. He will be returning this week with a boiler rep to analyze the problem. I would like to be prepared with my own suggestions.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
