Had a extension added and plumber 'T-eed' into radiator on other side of wall. Thing is, the TRV on the hall radiator is on return and in the extension, on the flow. Someone mentioned modern TRVs aren't too bothered which end they go on, but what about balancing? Can/should I try and balance by...

[b]I have a baxi solo heating system. Only one of my radiators is heating up (bedroom radiator, the one closest to he boiler). We think our radiators may need balancing but not unsure how to do this. Can anyone please help???

Hi All This is my first post here. Have been using this forum for a while but just joined. I have recently changed a radiator in toilet downstairs with a column type and it didn’t warm up properly. I thought I would balance the whole system to get it right. Searched the interweb a lot but many...

Hi, I'm wondering if the more knowledgeable people around could help me out with an issue I'm having with my central heating. Some of our radiators (mainly downstairs) are only getting luke warm whilst others (upstairs) are getting hot. We have recently had new thermostatic and lockshield...

Hi What is the easiest/straightforward way to tell the order of radiators from the boiler? I want to balance the system but don't know which radiator to tackle first. Thanks

I want to balance my nan's heating system, as there are a couple of radiators which do not get very hot. I have bled all radiators and no air has come out. I have read various guides on balancing which tell you to work out from the closest rad to the boiler to the one furthest away. The pump...

Hi all, I had a new CH system (condensing boiler/unvented cylinder/13 rads/22mm pipes feeding 15mm tails) installed as part of a big renovation earlier in the year and finally getting round to trying to balance the radiators as there are quite a few not getting very warm. I've noticed that a...

My first post, so please be gentle with me. I need to balance my brothers rads. He has a combi downstairs, and the flow and return pipes go into the ceiling above boiler (22mm then 15mm pipes). These pipes then either drop down through ceiling for downstairs rads, or come through the...

So i want to re-balance my rads generally, as over the past couple of years a few have been replaced/added. The slight issue I have however is that the coldest room (lounge - so the one we would generally want to sit when the heating is on during an evening) which just happens to be furthest...

It's been stated in another post that TRV's perform better on the return end of the radiator. I would have thought that from the point of view of balancing the system that it would be preferable to stick with lockshields on the return or is this another advance in CH design that appears to have...

Hi, I’m a little confused with my radiator set up. I have one radiator that doesn’t get as hot as others. I was looking into balancing the system but my radiators don’t seem to have a lock shield valve. I seem to have both a manual and a TRV? I’ve attached 2 photos of the same radiator Is this...

(a) I have a sealed system-under Worcester 24CDi combi boiler. (b) Only one radiator - the one downstairs by the door - has a LRV. The kitchen rad (which is close to the boiler) has two wheelhead valves, so is the small one in the bathroom. Four (three bedrooms and reception) has a wheelhead on...

Hi I have read loads on balancing and think I understand it quite well but I still have a problem. Boiler is on 2nd floor (attic conversion) and I fitted a large upright radiator (7000BTU's) on ground floor. I ran 22mm as far as possible and last 2 meters or so in 15mm. All rads have...

Hi Once again I have to attempt to balance the rads in my house due to rapid cooling of the rads. This time I've bought a thermometer so that I can actually measure the drop across the rads. The problem I have is identifying what sequence the rads run in. It seems that the ground and...

I recently had a new condensing boiler fitted. The pump is now in the boiler rather than being up stairs in the airing cupboard. The problem that I now have is that the radiators up stairs are getting hot but the downstairs radiators are very slow to heat up and never seem to get to the...

I have replaced a radiator in my hall with a larger unit for greater heat output. It has turned out really well. All the radiators get piping hot but I am having trouble rebalancing the system. I have managed to balance systems before using simple technique ie turning heat on full all TRV's...

Hi, :?: I live in a flat (ground floor) and have one cold radiator in the bedroom. Have traced the pipes from the boiler and its the farthest away. Its a new radiator, installed during the Summer so not needed until recently. Can anyone suggest why its not heating up? Have tried...

I have one radiator in the system which will only get warm if the head of the trv is unscrewed.....i thought it was a faulty trv to start with but this has been replaced......so now thinking the trv and lock shield have been installed the wrong way round?.....i cant ever remember this radiator...

I've got a S-plan setup with a system boiler with zones for CH, DWH and UFH. The UFH zone is a short loop with a mixing valve to limit the temperature and pass the heat onto the separate under floor heating loop with manifold & pump. When the UFH is on at the same time as the CH, the radiators...

I've got a worcester bosch 21 ri greenstar and looking to balance my radiators what should the temp drop be across the flow and return on the radiators I've checked the flow from the boiler and that's at 60 degrees
