We have a Valliant Combi Boiler, a Turbomax Pro 837e, which is a fairly manly unit and in my non-expert opinion, ought to be enough to provide heat for out 3-bed bungalow. We do have other heat management issue's, but there are a couple of rooms that get hot and a couple of room that really don't. This could be due to style of radiator as we do have some 'unconventional' (read - Designer) rad's.
In reality, do radiators need balancing? Or is this just to squeeze every last little bit of efficiency out? Although we bought the rads individually and without the guidance of a heating engineer, we did do our sums regarding outputs etc, which is why I am finding it hard to understand why our system is struggling.
Another area of concern is the size of the gas main. The boiler was commissioned with no questions, but the main stretches the full length of the bungalow in 22mm pipe, some have said that this should be 28mm?? Is this significant?
The other remaining issue is Cavity wall insulation, but I will post separately with my concerns on that subject!
