We have a two-story townhouse, and while the heat works fine for the first floor and parts of the second floor, the master bedroom on the second floor is absolutely frigid. We called in a tech from the gas company for a diagnosis, and he informed us that we had to bleed air from the pipes of the gas hot water heater -- easily DIY (if we know what we're doing), or about a $200 job if we call in a professional. How do we go about doing this ourselves? Thanks!
Open the pop off valve on the heater, and let the water run a few minutes. This will bleed the air from the tank and incoming water line. Next open all the hot and cold taps in the house and let the water run a few minutes.This should take you maybe 15 to 20 minuites. Now you can use the $200.00 for other things. I am a retired lead maintenance man from an apartment complex.
OPEN THE PETCOCK ON THE BLEEDER VALVE!!!!!!
