So as the title sez i want to add a radiator to my existing system i plan coming of an existing flow and return pipe, my heating is plumbed in 15mm copper pipe, i hope to come off an upstairs radiator (bedroom) and bring pipe work to downstairs drill through a wall and then fit the new radiator...

Heating question I'd like some help with if i may please-- we drained our system down to remove all radiators to decorate our whole house up. we thought it better to drain whole system than to take off each radiator on its own. now we have a problem! we closed all lockshield valves and...

I have had 2 new radiators in my new extension which don't warm at all. I have been told to balance my system. Do I need a thermometer to do this is there another trick of the trade to use. My plumber mate says I need to put bigger pipes in my feed from the header tank, but I don't understand...

We have 15 radiators and a couple of towel rails over 3 floors. On the top floor we have a towel rail and two radiators. The towel rail works fine but the 2 radiators are a problem. If I shut off the valve on radiator 2 as I'll call it then radiator 1 does get warm but not hot and is a quite a...

Hi all, I live in a 3 bedroom semi detatched new build house with a sealed system, condensing boiler ( ideal icos he15) and 10mm microbore plastic heating pipe system. I was wondering wether or not this requires balancing as our friends who live in a house identical to ours their heating...

Hello I need some advice regarding my central heating pump and a balancing issue I have. My house was built in 1999 and has a microbore central heating system throughout. Recently, I removed a radiator to paint behind it, when doing this I cracked one of the joints and it began to slowly...

I had to rehang a radiator in the bathroom. When first switching heating on it gets warm, after 30mins or so it goes cold and reamains cold. No air in the radiator. So I assume it is not balanced. The radiator is tapped from the main heating supply pipe directly above the boiler so it is...

Hi, I'm sure balancing CH systems has been asked millions of times and I've read and followed many guides on how to do so but still struggling with heating our loft. Problem: Radiators in the loft are only getting luke warm Background: We live in a typical semi-detached house with a loft...

I’m having a bit or a nightmare balancing my radiators as I can’t seem to identify the right order… pretty much on my own with 10 radiators and they all seem to heat up at the same time… Anyone offer any tips/tricks I’m definitely getting it wrong because one of the rads is 10degrees colder...

Been a long while since I balanced my central heating system, but recent changes (rads changed, removed rads for decorating and new extension) I need to check the system again. So I have a combination boiler (32kw), 20 rads, the house is 22 years old so not ideally designed for a new...

:?: I have one downstairs radiator that will not get hot. I have bled the radiator and hot water comes out, I assume from the hot water input, the end opposite the thermostat. I did not get any air out. I have bled the top of the radiator above the thermostat and got cold water, at no time...

I have an open vented system with 17 radiators. I replaced some of the valves a couple of years ago with TRV's, replacing each main valve. Little did I know that when the house was built 10 of the radiators were installed with the lock shield valve on the feed side of the radiator. The TRV's I...

Hi all I would like to turn off a radiator which has a broken TRV (jammed to "fully on"). Can I turn/close the lockshield valve to turn off the radiator? Or will that effect the balance of the whole system? Many thanks Max

Hi all I'm wanting to balance my radiators but stumbling on the first hurdle. Hopefully someone can help. Bit of background information first. I have an Intergas HRE 36/40 Combi. It's controlled by a Honeywell Lyric T6 using Opentherm. The boiler CH temp is set to 65C. I don't have a weather...

hello, i have trouble with one radiator in the house, ever since the plumbers fitted a new boiler and radiators and new pipework the lounge radiator never gets hot all over , it gets hot at the top but the middle to bottom gets loop warm cold, tryed balancing the rads but no joy , switched all...

OK here's what's been done already: Radiator upstairs never got hot (you could bleed every day and still nothing), changed it and was fine. Radiator downstairs went cold at the bottom (one pipe red hot, one cold) Changed radiator and still nothing. Balanced radiators to get them all...

I’ve read the archives and so many heated balancing discussions have been had. With 21 radiators and various branches known of I do wish to know the order they heat up and do wish to achieve a similar temp difference across them. Aware this is a long task with patience needed. So my question...

I wonder what the old timers have to say on this issue. Whenever I try to balance radiators heated by old cast-iron boilers, I'm trying to attain the mythical 11°C across the radiator. In practice, this seems to be a search for the holy grail because the boiler is invariably running at below...

I have just had a loft conversion. There are four radiators in the loft. Two in the main bedroom are fantastically hot, one in the small room is hot and the one in the bathroom is luke warm at best (goldilocks syndrome!). The plumber has changed the pump, balanced the radiators and bleed the...
