master plumber, this is a repeat post from 12\/31\/06. still having problems with radiators not getting hot, just the riser are hot now, it take over an hour for heat to start coming up the riser after the thermostat calls for heat, the top floor radiators and some time the 2nd floor radiators get heat but the 1st floor is ice cold. i have taken off all the air vents off the radiators and it did not work, i have also once again drained all the water out each radiator starting from the top floor working my way down, every radiator had dirty brown water, i decided to give an additional 1\/4″ pitch on the radiator back to the riser and that did not work. my father relocated the manifold back to the original location and i had heat for 2 days with knocking sound. thats when i decided to drain each radiator and shim up each radiator. after that i lost heat to the bottom floor and get heat sporadickly to the 2nd and 3rd floor. my father is a plumber and did all the work himself, he has 45 year experience, his own company and he sugguest that keyspan is not supplying enough gas pressure to the house. i tried to set the thermostat from 72 degrees to 75 degrees and it doesn’t reach 75 degrees after 4 hours. in the morning the thermostat is set for 72 degrees starting at 4am. when i leave the house at 6am. i never see the temperature above 68-69 degrees. i am in neee of some serious help. should i try to change the thermostat. should i put the boiler back to the original location, even though the piping was already brought back the the original location.
