    Maintaining my heating system
    Some years ago, I had a forced hot water heating system installed with 6 baseboards. However, I never bled the baseboards and it seems that I do not get as much heat from them as I once did. I would like to make sure that the system is clear and works well. How do I bleed the baseboard?

    Look for the bleeder valves located somewhere in your system. Then open slowly to vent air. Recheck boiler pressure when done.
