Hello folks,
We have recently built a conservatory (it's done properly with good isolation under the floor, high quality glazing etc) and we would like to install radiators connected to the CH.
The boiler is a condensing Ecotec Pro which works without any problems with the existing radiators in 4 rooms (living room, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) and it is installed on the ground floor (in the kitchen).
We have had a plumber that suggested we connect the conservatory radiators by extending the pipe from one of the bedrooms on the first floor (this one is at the end of the circuit). This seems like the easiest way to do the job, with the least amount of disruption.
On the other hand another plumber suggested that this is a wrong solution, because the pipe circuit goes up from the ground floor to the first floor and then back to the ground floor. He said that this is a bad design which will lead in time to air getting into the system and hence we will have to bleed the radiators very often. He suggested that the conservatory radiators should be connected to the one in the living room which is also on the ground floor (more difficult but not impossible).
My question is - is the first option a problem as the second plumber stated?
