Bubbles in central heating?

January 24, 2009 | By In Maintenance & Repairs | Comments(3)

john r asked:

Once or twice a day, a flurry of bubbles pass through one of my radiators, I think it happens when the three way valve operates, when the valve changes from heating and water to just heating. The system has theomostatic valves although two radiators have been left without any to ensure adequate flow. The boiler is almost new, condensing type. Previously I thought that the pump switched off while the three way valve operated, since the new boiler installation the pump runs continiously while there is a heat demand. Any help would be appreciated

Micsten asked:

I work from home and wish to heat just one room (my office) during the day. We have central heating and my office has a radiator. I could turn this on and turn all other radiators off in the house and put the heating on.

But would it be more economical to buy a small oil electric oil radiator with a thermostat like this one here -

… To place in my room, rather than have the central heating boiler on all day trying to heat the entire house to the temp I set on the central heating thermostat?

reena b asked:

I have a boiler for my central heating and hot water. Each radiator has its own thermostat. When the radiator thermostats are at 0 the water gets quite warm, but soon as I turn the rads on the water only gets luke warm. Any ideas why and how I can resolve this without have cold winters or cold baths!
