I had a central heating syatem installed by Energywise company, Worthing. They installed a new worcester bosh boiler cdi 40, new hotwater tank.new cold water tank and 9 radiators. Five double radiators to replace old songle radiaotrs. Three of the new double radiators do not heat up adequately. The Energywise have flushed the system twice with no improvement. They do not seem to know the problem.Any ideas to get to the bottom of the problem are most welcome

The new rads will have TVR valves some of these stick if you remove the top and the inners you will find a pin, that sticks, if you pull it up and if it moves then put every thing back as was the rads will heat up then

Have you personally paid ( or going to ) for this system? Dont pay until its sorted out to your satisfaction.

It seems to me that the first think that they should have done is to balance the system.

That is most likely to solve the problem but obviously it needs someone who knows what he is doing, most dont!
