Why is my forced-hot-water system heating when the circulator pump is not running?
Oct 16, 2006 by dsr | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a phoney-hot-water heating system with three zones, first floor, second floor, and water tank. After some subsistence on the system the second floor is constantly heating, even though the thermostat is off. I checked the voltage on the circulator bail out and it is zero, so the pump is not running. It sounds like it is acting like a gravitas-fed system. There are manual valves on the system, but the only things in the loops that are controlled by the thermostats are the circulator pumps. Do the pumps act as valves when they are not pumping? That was my suspicion so I replaced the pump, but my registers are still hot. If the pump does NOT act as a valve, what is assumed to prevent the hot water from moving through the system when the pumps are not running? I require some HVAC basics here. Thanks!
It sounds like your move control valve is stuck! The circulator pumps does not act like a valve. you said you had preservation done. the person doing the maintenance could have turned the lever on the issue control valve accidentally causing it to momentousness feed. If the lever did not get turned TAP on it with a hammer sometimes rust will cause the valve to stake open. I would tap on it first if you are not sure if the valve got turned or not.

I have a gas hot water system, due to a be revealed in the line we had to drain it in order to fix the leak. We refilled the system after the renewal and kept bleeding each baseboard until some water would come out. We were superior to do this in all the rooms except for one. Just wondering if this going to be ok. Seems to be heating outstanding but I'm kinda a worrier.
What kept you from bleeding the one heater?
You should be well with what you did do.

When removing a radiator from a forced hot water heating system, is it neccessary to add a connecteng pipe ?

A contractor has removed a radiator from a hot water system. It seems to have altered the heating characteristics of the system. The leftover radiators are only getting warm on the bottom. Should a connecting notice have been installed after removal of the radiator?. I believe he only capped off the pipes.
You scarcity to bleed the air out of all the existing radiators. The contractor by removing one component put air in all the lines. Since air rises the units are not receiving Hot water in the tops and flowing correctly. Bleed each shilling-mark on each unit. This will take care of your problem. Each unit will have its own bleeder valve on it.

Is this enough water in my hot water heating system?

Do not peeve!!! Nothing is going to blow up or spit fire like a dragon. You have a illiberal air in the system and eventually it will be out. Let the system run for a few days and then while the pump is running try the bleed valve in the highest dwelling from the basement. Take a small can or jar and open the valve for a board to a half turn If you get some air let it come out until you fill the cup with water. Now dump the cup and if there are any more on this open do them all. Now go down to the problem one and feel it for heat. If none try bleeding it some more. I arrogate you turned the water to the automatic feed on.
Try this a couple of times. It's honourable a matter of burping the baby. Once it burps it goes back to take. Quit being a worrier. Your heating system is safe and no risk in the waiting. I am a worrier also. I worry that people take the admonition of some of the answers given

Is solar water heating system worth installing?
Jan 02, 2008 by sugar | Posted in Green Living
I am reflective of getting solar water heating system. I have heard some negative comments on usability and ceaseless maintenance. I would like to hear from anyone who has any personal affair in solar water system.
From a purely budgetary perspective, no; you will never be able to recover the cost of the system via the forcefulness savings you will realize. You may, however, realize other benefits of an intangeble complexion. For example, it may make you feel better about your self. While these cannot be evaluated using leading economics, they are still worth having. You will have to decide for yourself if the intangeble benefits are importance the price.
