BOILER MAKIG NOISES..

[Kimberley666]

Hi, my newish boiler has started making strange noises every hour or so. i also only have 50% of y radiators working even after iv tried bleeding and balancing. hoping that someone on here can give some advise before a plumber visits.. thanks in advance, Kim.

i had a new radiator replacement last week, ever since only 3 out of my 6 radiators are working ( 1 upstairs and 2 downstairs are working, the rest are cold). the plumber did drain the system to install the new radiator.. does it mean the system needs to be topped up, ? im hoping a plumber will visit tomorrow,, thanks for your input,, Kim.

I suspect air locked plumber didn’t do his job eg should of run / heater the system up and bled all of the air out / made sure it worked

iv bled all the radiators and no air was coming out only cold water. bit of a mystery. the plumber that installed the radiator wasnt interested to stick around to ensure all the radiators were working.. im using another plumber in the future..

I suspect it’s above the boiler /filter eg goes up and then down

You could try hot water only and turn the heat temp dial down to min and let it run for all night and re try it in the morning eg on heating
