    Radiators
    Hey guys, quick question. I have radiator heaters in my home. One of the radiators doesn't heat up. It's always cold even when all the others are steaming hot. Can anyone tell me why and is there any way to fix this? Thank you. Happy Holidays to all

    If these are hot water radiators, there should be a bleeder valve on the top of the radiator. Open the valve until water comes out and no more air is present. This should get you up and running.
