Setting up central heating for best performance/efficiency?

[jmhill]

Hi,

I have a sealed CH system with TRVs.

I have read the FAQ on how to balance the system?

//www.diynot.com/wiki/plumbing:faq:faq2

Should towel radiators (without TRVs) be treated as a normal rad?

Is there anything else I can do to ensure my CH system is running efficiently?

Regards,

Jon

You have not mentioned a room stat that would help for a start. Towel rails should be balanced as a normal rad is. When was your system last drained and fresh inhibitor introduced?

Hi,

Sorry, I have a honeywell digital room stat I fitted a couple of years ago, drained and added inhibitor last week.

and the boiler?

The Boiler is an Ariston System A 30 Rffi.

ditch the honeywell and get the ariston compensation or modulating controllers
