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?

Afternoon Fellas If anyone has time to help with this snag it'd be much appreciated. We have a wet-floor system controlled by John Guest UH3 and rather dated Heatmiser DT thermostats. One of the upstairs zones is combined for the bedroom/dressing room. So that's 2 rooms, 2 manifolds, but one...

Hello, We’ve recently moved into a fairly old, fairly big detached house (i.e. fairly draughty, but not too bad by any means) with a fairly new well maintained Worcester combi boiler. We weren’t convinced the heating was working right and then got hit with a £610 energy bill for the first 6...
