a few of my downstair radiators arent giving off much heat one none at all. They dont need blleeding, i got a new boiler a few years ago and had the radiators flushed then. Is it likely that i just need new radiators?

You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
I only know what my Dad has told me over the years, but I thought that sometimes air gets it & they need to be bled.
It might be worth a try? I know they were done a couple of years ago but I don't think that means they def won't need doing again.
Does each radiator have a thermostat?
Hopefully some more knowledgeable person will come along but it it were me I'd try bleed them & see. :-)0 -
ive tried to c if they need bleeding but water comes out not air so i guess its not that. Also the upstairs need bleeding regulary and r usually cold at the top when they need doing the downstairs are just cold all over.0
