Central Heating

fire the system let it run it will help to de,air the system whilst allowing you to check how it warms up

Ok noted - will do. I was working on the basis it can't be any worse ....lol

with gravity feed systems the older they are you have to fire them often to de,air them

heated central heated pipes de, air quicker as they have a push on them to circulate

if you have it right all of the top radiators will get red hot whilst the lower radiators are robbed of heat

only after a few fire ups to de,air them and then you can start to balance them

dont balance them before as they need the flow first only after can you start to balance them

Just to update - the system is all up and running again now and all rads hot so some success so if i can keep it running for now but suspect down the road a new combi boiler will be needed long term but for when it warms up weather wise.
Many thanks all.
