    Hi

    Just turned on the Gas heating after the summer. It is just heating the rads upstairs and not downstairs. Is this due to low pressure(it is 1 or just below) ?

    I opened the valve to leave in more water and left open for a few mins while heating on - but pressure did not go up much.

    Any ideas of what wrong and how to fix it. Thanks

    Is your wall thermostat turned down too low?

    Your problem is most likely a faulty motorised valve take some pics of the hot press pipe work
