Hello everyone.
We have a 1-bedroom unit with baseboard heating, gas furnace for heating and boiler for hot water. Recently, the unit is not warming up enough to the degree set on the thermostat. I have changed the thermostat and the furnace seems to be working. For example the thermostat is set on 71, but the temperature never goes higher than 65.
I know the system has the capacity to get up to the temperature I have set; so something should be wrong. I just don’t know what.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Have the adjacent units got the same system? Ask them what temperature they can achieve. When was the furnace last serviced? they don't run forever without attention.
 
Does the furnace have filters , if so are they clean?
Has it worked in the past with the same oudoor temperature as now?
Thanks for all the responses. The temperature outside is around 36-46 in NYC. The system was serviced about a month ago and had been working find as far as the tenant says. This a multi-family house and the other unit is a two-story unit, it has the same issue more or less but I had assumed it was because it is a single zone system and the heat goes upstairs mostly.
I have not checked the filters though; might they be the reason?

Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...
