Hi All,
My father and I are having a problem with our heat. In his bedroom, the radiator is hot to the touch but it does not seem to be getting the heat out into the room. It is not triggering the thermostat causing the heater to run nearly constantly.
We are at a loss of what to do. Do we need to "bleed" the system? Does something inside the pipes in the baseboard sound like it isn't working?
My father checked all the pipes and said they were hot to the touch so that told us none of the pipes were frozen, since the room has three exterior walls.
The radiator is cast iron baseboard.
This is the first time we've had this problem. We have been in this house for 3 years. It seems strange that this would be happening all of a sudden.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Full discloser- this is run off of an oil furnace, but I didn't know who else to ask.
Thanks guys.
