Hi,
We have a relatively new gas boiler - 5 years old I think. This last year I've been hearing a lot of gurgling in the pipes and I figured it was time to bleed the system.
Well, I seem to have done more harm then good. I bled the upstairs radiators and at first I heard some air come out - or maybe it went in through the bleeder valve. I'm not sure. But now there is no heat at all on the second floor which has 3 radiators. Downstairs seems to be functioning fine. Upstairs I did not get any water coming out of the bleeder valves.
Downstairs I did get water coming out when I bled the radiators.
I am thinking the system must need a lot more water in it which I know is supposed to fill automaticaly but maybe that part is not working.
Prior to my trying to do this we were getting some heat on the second floor. Kind of strange. I think I must have let more air into the system probably because it is already full of air and not functioning properly.
I guess it's time to call a professionsal.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks in advance, Steve
