I live in an "L" shaped bungalow.
The "_" bit of the house is open plan are tall (1.8 m) column type and the radiators take AGES (1.5 hours to get hot all over), when they do get hot, the room starts to get warm, but it does take about 2 hours to start.
The "|" bit of the house have trvs and they get nice and hot, nice and quickly....
But it seems to me that the the "_" bit doesnt seem to get enough flow until the "|" TRV radiators reach their temp and shut off.
(Still with me ? )
So I figured a balancing is in order.
The temp difference on some of them is only about 1 or 2 degrees, so I shut the lock shield down but they are only open about 1/4 turn as it is, any less than that and it seems to stop any flow at all !!!
I'm wondering if there is something (air lock?) stopping the water going down the "_" section and that it only gets the 'extra oomph' when the "|" bit is all shut off.
Anything I can do or look at ?
