Certain areas of home too cold

    1. Check for items around the room or doors which could be preventing proper ventilation.
    2. Check for open windows, door and windows with drafts. Repair, replace or upgrade windows and doors with bad seals.
    3. Check the thermostat in the cold rooms and turn up the temperature setting if too low.
    4. Inspect radiator valves and make sure they are fully open to allow hot water flow. Open further if needed.
    5. Bleed radiators in cold areas to remove trapped air preventing heat circulation.
    6. Verify zone valves for the cold area are open fully. Adjust or replace valve if not functioning properly.
    7. Check for closed supply/return valves for the zone. Open fully if found closed.
    8. Insulate exposed pipes and radiators in cold rooms to prevent heat loss.
    9. Look for leaks in pipes or radiators within the zone that may be losing heat. Repair any found leaks.
