Hi, What benefits could be realised by carrying out a power flush on our gas central heating together with radiator balancing? For example, would it improve the efficiency of the boiler in that it did not have to work so hard to generate the same amount of heat or would there be a saving...

I’m getting a bit confused with all of the different information about Radiator balancing. And yes I have read several FAQ’s on the subject. Is this correct Reduce the flow within a radiator to allow the water more time to dissipate It’s heat into the rad, therefore creating a greater...

After I flushed my system recently and replaced a couple of the TRVs, I struggled to re-balance it. There were 2 rads which wouldn't warm up for ages after the rest. I had been unaware that my system would need re balancing. There must have been some serious crud in the pipes. I learned on this...

Hi, It is my understanding that the hot water from the boiler (flow) enters the TRV valve side of the radiator, and continues to all other radiators in the system, entering the TRV valve side, through the flow pipes. Once it is spread through the radiator, this water (slightly cooler) returns...

I need to get my radiators balanced. The radiators at the moment do not have th independant thermostats on them. What are the reasons for having these put on?

We have moved into a large house with four floors and sixteen radiators in total (many large double ones). It is a relatively new installation with a Worcester 24i system boiler. The problem we have is that the two radiators on the top floor do not get more than lukewarm even with the TRV fully...

Hi, I live in a modern 4 bedroom, 3 storey town house, with a condensing boiler. The boiler is installed on the top floor in a boiler cupboard All rad's, except ground floor hall way, have TRV's fitted. This is open with the 2 lockshield valves. Some TRV's are on the inlet to the rads...

I've spent literally all day balancing radiators in my old solid brick house. I think I have just about got it sorted now. We have 21 radiators on two levels. The average temperature seems to be 50 degrees centigrade with the boiler on max with max input temp of 65 degrees. Does this seem...

Hi, Problem is two cold radiators furthest from boiler, and the cold water inlet pipe from expansion tank to ch system gets hot and flushes into the expansion tank. Assuming the system need balancing, but don't know how. Any help appreciated.

I have gas central heating, all the single radiators in the house get very hot all over, the three double radiators in the same system only get hot at the top and only warm at the bottom, I have bled all the radiators and all so tried to balance the radiators, but the double radiators will not...

Im not overly bothered about upstairs getting very warm, i mainly want downstairs to get hot quicker, one of the rads in the living room takes a while to heat up compared to the rest of the house so the system needs balancing. However im not bothered about exact science of the 12 degrees...

Hi Guys, I have read quite a few posts with regards to the above. My problem is that I have no TRVs which makes it difficult for me to distinguish which end is the lockshield - both ends look the same and both have a plastic covering with + for one direction (on) and - for the other direction...

Hi, Hope someone could point me in the right direction and what I doing wrong. -Boiler is Vaillant Eco 630 installed last year. -Radiators were replaced this summer to ultra heat ones. -11 radiators in total (double) including 2 large single bay windows (2 metre) I am currently...

I have recently tried to balance the central heating system in my house as there are three rads which only get slightly warm. Some rads have trv valves and some Dont, To find out which was the in and out on each rad i closed the valves on both sides of the rads then when the system was up to...

Hi I have a recently installed system boiler (Worcester Bosch) When I remove the heads from the TRVs I can get all of the radiators balanced with a 12 degree drop between flow and return - I know some may disagree with the 12 degree drop but my common sense logic tells me that whilst it may be...

Hi all, Looking for advice on balancing. Do i need to balance with the following setup - Setup:- Greenstar Junior Boiler 28i in cupboard in back bedroom. 2 x Bedroom mid terrace Salus RT500F Wireless Controller in Hall. Upstairs Bedrooms - Double Panel Kermi Radiators both with TRVS...

Hi all, is it absolutely necessary to find the order rads are on the system in aid to balance them effectively? I have no idea where my radiators are with respect to 1 through 10 and have tried the running around and touching method with little success! Is it acceptable just to check flow and...

Hi, I've got one radiator thats warm at the top and cold at the bottom, how can i balance it out so it's all hot. Thanks

I have just flushed all my radiators and noticed many of the lock shield valves were fully open. I have a IR thermostat and after checking the rads there is around 2 degres between flow and return. I've read how to balance, to try to get a 13 degree c difference between flow and return...

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...
