Boiler : radiant baseboard pipes not warm
Happy New Year all!
Last night we were using our fireplace and the thermostat is in the same room so when we went into another room to watch the ball drop we noticed the temp in the room was cold but figured it was because the heat had not run in a few hours. I awoke this morning and check the situation and found that 1/4 of the house's heat pipes were cold.
One thing that has been happening is that the auto bleeder on the boiler has been VERY active lately and we have heard some rattling of pipes near the boiler. We have the boiler serviced every year and it is only 5 years old.
Can someone explain what are the most likely causes of this please? I have a bleeder key for the baseboard pipes which I will try soon but I have a feeling it is something else. Have no fear I will NOT try and fix this myself outside of bleeding pipes... I know my limitations... sure I could do it with proper training and experience but I have neither.
Thanks again for your time and assistance!
