Same as you would do with a gas Boiler BUT remember a furnace does not have waterThe type of furnace that uses baseboard radiators is a hot water furnace. Most have bleeder screws at one end of the rad. If you loosen this screw while it is heating it will allow the air to escape. When water starts with no air hiss tighten the screw. If you do not get water, just air check the water pressure guage on the furnace to ensure there is water in the system

∙ 9y agoRemove the end panels from the baseboard. If piping was installed correctly, there should be air vents on one of the 90 degree ells on either end of the baseboard. Newer ones are automatic, older ones have to be opened manually, usually with a flat blade screwdriver. Be careful not to open too much -- a quarter turn should be plenty if you do this until you get only water. Also, if you have a second story, vent the baseboard there. You should only have to vent one baseboard to remove the air. Vent a few times to give time for all air to move to that point. You should not have to add water, as your boiler should have auto replacement water. If you do not have vents on your baseboard piping, contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor.

What is the screw for on the top of the baseboard water heater?
A bleeder valve to remove air in the system
How do you purge a home water heater?
If you have a water heater, particularly a gas one, you will need to purge your system if air gets in. This can happen when the water main is shut off, etc. A purge usually involves draining the water with a garden hose and then restarting the heater.The air bubble interferes with the heaters ability to interact properly with the heating coil.
Why would a water-flowing sound come from a baseboard heater in an apartment?
The system needs to be bled, there is still some air in the piping causing the noise you are hearing.
How can you heat your house?
Many, many answers. Fuel types: electric, propane, natural gas, oil , wood , wood pellets, coal, corn & kerosene. Heater types: Gravity warm air, forced warm air, gravity hot water, forced hot water, steam system. Wood, pellet, corn & coal stove. Gas heater, oil heater, kerosene heater. Electric baseboard. .
What to do when you hear water running in baseboard heating?
That means there is air in the lines and must be bled out.
How do you purge air from a heater core?
fill radiator up the start car after the thermostate opens it will do the trick after running awhile let car cool off then check water in radiator if needed add water if not close it up.
Can you get a black dust on your wall from a base board electric heater?
Yes, you can get black dust on your wall from a baseboard electric heater. If the heater has a fan, this often spreads dust to areas near the walls. If the heater does not have a fan, the warm air rising from the heater can cause dust to settle near the area.
Why would it mess up the water heater by running it out of propane the propane ran out and now it will not stay lit the replaced the thermocouple and it didn't fix it?
Did you purge the air out of the gas line? This could cause the problem by air being introduced into the line.
In baseboard heaters is there anyway to check for air in the lines?
If there is air you will hear bubbling as the water flows. If you do not hear anything while the pump is on you are probably ok.
What is the process called when heated air moves from baseboards heaters to the rest of the room?
Heat from baseboard heaters mostly move out into a room via ConvectionBaseboard heaters take in cold air near the floor. The heater warms the cold air, making expand, thus it is lighter than the surrounding air. The surrounding cold air sinks and pushes the warm air up and away from the heater. The heater then warms that air. It's a cycle of warm and cold.A small amount of transfer will also occur via "radiation" in a manner much like the heat of the sun moving to the earth. If you place your hand near some baseboard heaters you can actually feel the heat radiating from it without being within the flow of heated air coming off of the heater.
Why does air around an electric heater or hot water heater rise?
It gets warmer and warm air always rises.
How does purge-dip system uses hydrostatic pressure to measure level of water?
The purge-dip system is also called the 'bubbler method.' Air is blown through a hose at a certain depth; the pressure of the air that is necessary to push the water out of the tip of the hose is equivalent to the level of the water.
