I've no doubt that this question has been asked many time as conducting a search has resulted in a number of previous posts. None of them are exactly like my situtation so I was wondering if anyone can help.
In Nov (2009) we had a brand new Vaillant Eco Tec Pro 24 installed upstairs in the back bedroom, replacing where the old hot water storage system used to be. We thought that this would cure our heating problems as the boiler which we replaced packed in last year.
The problem is though that apparently we are on a one-pipe system and literally the only radiators that get hot are those located upstairs.
The one in the bathroom has been converted two-pipe system (so I've been told) and this does get extremely hot. The others in the bedrooms get hot enough to warm the room so I am not concerned about those.
The radiators downstairs are luke warm at best even after the heating has been operating for 4 hours! It seems that the further away you are from the boiler the cooler the radiator. Initial research on the Internet suggested that the pump may be the issue but surely a brand new boiler would not have this problem?
Is there nothing I can do to get more heat into the downstairs radiators? Even though the installed said it is symptomatic of a one-pipe system surely they must have worked in the past? We are sat here of an evening wrapped up in multiple layers of clothes under a spare duvet having paid over £1600 for a new boiler and fitting! What we do?
Many thanks in advance.
