View Full Version : 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 gauge. Low boiler water pressure will prevent circulation on second floor.
I'll look at that over this weekend when I get back home = thanks

OK post back with results
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 wasn't ever a problem. Thanks you know what you are doing

Easy does it with the pressure. Usually 12 to 14 pounds is enough for a 2 story. Glad you got it going.
Should I leave it at 20 or back it down a bit?

Back it down a bit and try it
