    is there a gate valve near the side of the cylinder? turn it up a half turn.


    or if he drained the system, the coil might be airlocked

    Just as a matter of interest, did the heating work for the plumber after he fitted them?

    give him a shout so. if you drain, you have to get all the airlocks out. can be a balls but thats the risk you take when draining
