No, we have put the heating on 24 hours, and when the radiator comes on looking at the thermostat on the cupboard in the same room, which is in a central position away from the radiator, direct sun light or direction line of convection of the heat from the radiator.

Hi, from the point of view of 'over heating', I see this as a radiator coming on with a TRV at only #2 or #2.5 when the room temperature is just over 20 C which does in effect cause over heating by increasing the overall room temperature until the stat trips off again. As I see it, correctly me...

The hallway is 'L' shaped, with two front doors, a PVCu outer door and a timber inner door. The inner door opens inward hinged to the right as you walk in, the door opens back to the radiator so draughts are kept to a minimum (thinking of the radiator TRV at this stage) As you enter the hall...

Hi, when you say OK as a temporary measure, surely the hall radiator will always need to be less than the room stat or the increase in heat from that radiator will cut off the system via the room stat?

Hi What do you mean when you say... Have you checked if the system has been balanced?

I have today raised the room stat in the hallway from 19.5 C to 25 C, the TRV on the hall radiator is set lower than the rest of the bungalow, so that the hall doesn't get as warm and the room stat doesn't switch off the system and affect the other room radiators. I can now start to monitor the...

Reading my above post I need to clarify one item. All radiators have TRV valves, the towel rail radiator in the bathroom doesn't.

The boiler is a Worcester MT10 All radiators have TRV valves When I checked today, the water pressure was approx 1.1 bar, I have now raised this to 1.5 bar. The boiler temperature was set to just over number 4 according to manual this would be a temperature of just over 60 deg C, I have altered...

Oh dear, are they a problematic value? Could a boiler contribute to the problem? Can a boiler be adjusted to narrow the cutting in and cutting out?

We moved into our current home 2 years ago, gas central heating was installed for us around that time. Some of the radiators seem to have to drop to a low temperature for the thermostat to open the value. It then seems to heat up considerably before shutting off. Can the valves be adjusted so...
