    Hot water
    I have no hot or cold water reaching two taps, but lots of hot and cold water in all the other taps in the house. All taps are on the same floor.

    I have been told I have an air blockage - is this true and if so how can I get rid of it?? Might it be something else? All radiators in the house work and have been bled.

    Thanks

    Re: hot water
    Hey Twinkle, I need a little more detail. What fixtures are the two that have no water and where they located? To bleed air out of a system all you need to do in open a faucet so I don't think this is your problem. How is your water heated? Through your hot water heating system or a water heater? I would suspect that the supply lines are blocked, could be mineral buildup from your furnace or the heater. The first thing I would do is take apart the taps and attempt to flush out the supply lines that feed them. You may also find out what it is blocking the flow once you open up the taps. If you have more information that you can give us we will have more to work with. Thanks, Tom
