Hi,
I'm new here but have a question as I'm trying to help out an elderly friend. Hope someone here can help me.
The heating system is 40 years old, hot water baseboard, the "boiler" is called "Instant Hot"? but there's no holding tank. My friend has gotten the heat going throughout the entire house (built in early 1800's) except for one room upstairs that runs off a third line. There are 3 lines going upstairs: 2 are hot and 1 not getting hot. Appears that there is not enough water in the system. Hasn't been open over a year to the upstairs. Lots of klunking noise going on upstairs? Need to know how to get water going into heating system. Don't know where system inlet is for heating? There seems to be not enough water in system...how to get more into system??
If there's anyone out there who can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. The gentleman who owns the house is 85 years old and his rooms are upstairs in the room not getting heat!!! Cannot afford to call a plumber or furnace repairman? I'd greatly appreciate any help given.
Thanks so much,
TK
