Hello!
I will try to make the story short.We bought a two story house a few years ago.The heating in the attic was done in a very interesting way- two baseboard heaters (with bleeders)connected to the radiator in the foyer:confused:. Well,we have had problems heating the attic since we bought the house and the reason for it is the way the connection is made obviously unless we crank up the heat up to 80 degrees or more.This way is unacceptable and very costly to us:(.
I bled the radiators in the whole house. The radiator in the foyer had some hot water in it at the time and it was cooler on top,because of all the air in it.
The question now is not about getting heat to the attic at all ,because we have given up this a while ago,but about the radiator in the foyer which is completely cold while the rest of the radiators are hot.:confused:
Should I consider it not repairable at this time while the whole system is running still or it can be fixed in some way,so we can get heat at least in the radiator in the foyer,which is the only one for heating the stairwell. I have fixed many times different heating problems around the house and have had them fixed ,but this now is not making any sense to me:
The pressure at the boiler is 15lbs.The temperature is controlled by electronic thermostat and it is running perfectly by the schedule.The circulator pump is working .There is hot water going to the radiator ,but it doesn't go in it.The shut off valve is fine,because hot water enters the radiator while I bled this radiator again today and it is cold as the weather outside.;)
I hope there will be someone able to give an advice and help us!
Thank you in advance for the attention!
