Noisey Baseboard

rmo5095

My wife had a fly bynighter replace our oil tank and they gave us a service contract as well. While replacing the tank they changed out the relief valve and now that its heating season I can here the water running through the baseboard much louder than ever before. It sounds like the system isn't full because you can here the water . Is this possible. Anyone have an idea as to what i can do to fix. Without calling these people back?

It's air....that's why you hear water running.
Probably doesn't heat the rooms very well now either.
The lines need to be bled.

You get what you pay for...
You could call them back or you could call someone else.
I can't tell you what to do.

Thanks, I would never call them again. I figured thats what it was. Whats the best way I would prefer to do it myself.

You're not really a GC, are you?

actually yes, if that makes a difference. There are no bleeders on the baseboard so I came here for some quick advice, since I am not building in the state my home is I don't have a lot of time to fix this to keep my family warm so I thought someone here could maybe give me a shortcut. But I see you are more concerned with credentials then advice. Lets see how much you know about Geo thermal wells?

This site doesn't permit references to other sites that have the complete steps on web pages. They exist, a clever search can bring the steps. They are too involved for reproduction here.

Ok, let's play the stoopid game....

You hire the lowest possible scum ball "contractor" available....even though you, as a "GC", know better than to:
- expect any sort of quality from such a "contractor"
- expect any sort of warranty from such a "contractor"
- pay the man w/o ever checking the system to ensure it's operation
- etc.

...and now, the best you can do is ask some unknown face "What do I do?"

As a "GC", I would expect that one of your subs would be available to drop by and fix the problem while discussing anything from the next job to next Sunday's football game and downing a beer...or even toss the man a few schekles for his troubles.


And this why I question your credentials.
It reeks of HO/DIY stank.

So Einstein what do GeoThermal wells have to do with anything mentioned here? If you could look at any well piping and understand what your looking at I think you could figure out how to purge out a baseboard loop.
