Radiator - cold bottom hot top All aspects of plumbing questions and answers, help, tips and information

[Tricia]

Hi - my living room radiator is hot at the top and cold at the bottom so I'm not getting a very effective heat to my room. Can you suggest anything that would improve this. The system is about 18 years old and runs from it's own boiler - thanks

Hi Tricia,

It could be sludge build up. If your pump has speed settings on it, move it up 1 setting. Either way you should get a recomended plumber in.
