Radiator thermometers

[aroundM21]

My heating system is to pot .... usually downstairs is too cold.
No plumber will come out and Balance the system - it's not worth their time. Quite happy to give it a go myself .... but where can I get Radiator thermometers ?? I cannot sense 20 degree difference I'm affraid

Looked at all the usual places with no joy. I'm in south Manchester, if anyone knows local stores as well as national chains.

TIA.

the 20 is across a condensing boiler not the rad

most of the sheds sell them

Try Plumbworld.
They sell them for £4 each, which reminds me that I must get myself some too.

Maplin were doing some point and shoot contactless digital readout thermometers for a fair price a while back. Might be worth investigating to see if any are left.

It has a laser target indicator, and reads the temperature froma distance, so all you have to do, is point and shoot the inlets and outlets of rads etc as you go around the installation.
