Living room radiator/query advice

[BobbyJoe]

Good morning,

I moved into a flat in August and last month decided to get a new boiler and radiators for each room except the kitchen. The heating is good enough but the living room radiator which is bigger than the all of the other ones, is not as hot. The bottom of it is hot the middle is okay but going from the middle to the top is cooler.
The engineer suggested it is to do with the piping/connection under the floor and not the radiator, my query is it pointless getting it checked or just live with the fact that nothing can really be done. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

The bottom of it is hot the middle is okay but going from the middle to the top is cooler.

I wouldn't read those symptoms as a piping problem. That's a text-book description of a radiator that has accumulated air (or hydrogen) and needs bleeding.

If you are not sure how to bleed a radiator ask and we'll explain.

Turn the rads that do get hot off and let the heating push through the lounge radiator on its own its more than likely to be trapped air in the rad and should clear itself through the boiler aav check your system pressure vent the rad if necessary . Cheers Kop
