The first radiator in my central heating system is a towel radiator in my bathroom.
It gets very hot and because nobody is in the bathroom long, I would like to shut it off or at least lower the heat output.
Is it okay to completely shut off the towel radiator at the valves but keep the central heating running in the other rooms?
I was told that you should not completely shut off a radiator when the central heating is running as it over works the boiler?
Is there any truth to this?
Would almost shutting off the valve, lower the heat output?
The towel radiator does not have a TRV.. all of the other rads on my central heating system (3 more) all have TRV's
