Hello there, I'm hoping that someone here can give me some good advice...
I've had no heat for over two weeks, despite four visits by a heating/plumbing repairman and $2000 spent on services.
Here's the problem. My hydronic heating system will work for about an hour tops, while the air coming from the vents slowly turns cooler and cooler until nothing but cool air comes through. I've also noticed that I can only get warm air from the system again if I let it "rest" for at least 12 hours, and then I get the same thing again: It'll produce warm air for about an hour tops, during which time the air becomes cooler and cooler until I'm running the equivalent of an airconditioner in the dead of winter.
Thus far, I've had the the following items replaced:
Addtionally, the system has been drained and purged several times, the motor has been checked and confirmed as good, and there's nothing wrong with the hot water heater; it was installed new less that one year ago.
At this point, I am weary of spending money on something that doesn't seem to get fixed...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Thus far, I've had the the following items replaced:
- Two check valves
- One thermostatic mixing valve
- One hot water coil unit
