My radiators are heating up but there doesn't seem to be any heat coming off them??? Does that sound daft.. :confused:

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong with them?

    Turn up the thermostat on the boiler. The radiators should be getting too hot to touch.

    Probably is the thermostat temperature but I assume the radiators have worked in the past? Otherwise, they might be fitted in the wrong place. Don't forget the heat rises to the ceiling, without any air movement to mix the air in the room then it won't feel warm, (unless you are on a ladder). That why they get fitted under windows/on outside walls/near doors etc
