A contractor came to add an additional hot water baseboard heater into our family room which is an add-on, because there was no heating element in this added room and we could not use the space in the Winter months. He did this by tapping into the baseboard pipe in the room adjacent to the family room. Before he installed the new pipe, the baseboard heaters in every room were working fine and the house stayed quite comfortably warm. But now, none of the baseboard heaters are emitting heat. They are all cold. The furnace is working just fine. He has bled the system multiple times and still nothing. What could be the problem? And what could be a possible solution?

You still may have a vapor lock. 'Bleeding" alone may not be enough. You need to find someone who specializes in circulating hot water heat. This system is far more complicated than forced air. If there is air in those lines, water won't circulate.
