no heat, first floor zone!
I recently drained and refilled my boiler system, which I now know is a mistake. Boiler fires up, but only circulates hot water to the second floor and basement zones; no water movement on the main floor zone. I've bleed some of the baseboard radiators on the main floor and am getting cold water. Should I continue to bleed and let the water flow? Should I bleed them all, or just the first/last in the main floor system? Pressure at about 20 psi, if that helps.
Hopefully still a few weeks before it gets too cold! Thanks!

No Heat-First Floor
I agree with Furd.
If further bleeding fails to help, the answers to these questions may help us help you get heat.
Do you have zone valves or a circulator for each zone?
If zone valves, are you sure the valve for the first floor is opening?
If circulators, is the first floor circulator running?

Bleeding all the radiators on that floor seems to have worked guys. I guess I didn't realize that even when one is spitting up water the others can still be plugged with air. Thanks for the tip!
