Hi Frank, The garage is blocks and plaster on the outside with an asbestos roof.. I don't remember seeing it dripping anywhere but that's not to say it didn't over night and I looked in the day when it had stopped.. I will check the soil hight and if necessary dig it down.. What surface...

My house was built in the 50s and it looks like there is no damp proofing in the garage because in the winter the floor is very damp to the point of being wet.. It looks like previous owners have tried to stick down some felt to the floor but this has pretty much fallen apart and just a few bits...

Hi all, Probably be asked a million times but I couldn't find the exact situation and answer.. I have just had a section of the drive way widened (tar) and have concrete edging.. There is about an 8-10 inch strip of soil between the concrete driveway edging and the fence which is about 5 -...

Yes, I spent ages going around with the IR gun getting all the rads balanced.. My girlfriend started thinking I was very OCD.. :)

[/url] Sounds like a remote sensor is what I need.. Thanks.. Are there any battery operated electronic valve controllers that have something like a wireless room stat (also battery operated) that can be put on the wall in the middle of the room somewhere that can control the rad?

There are arrows pointing in both directions.. It has been balanced..

TRV is an "EPH Controls EN215".. At least thats what it says on the box.. Looks like this.. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31iV5%2Bka0cL._SX300_.jpg

What I mean is the TRV is being "heated up" by the rad and so is shutting down before the room has reached temperature.. In other words the vertical bars of the rad are radiating in all directions including towards the TRV.. As for sizing according to the online calulators I need 6534BTU and...

Hi, I have been trying to work out why the lounge didn't seem to warm up very well even though the rad is 2300w.. The rad is a vertical Reina Neva - http://www.screwfix.com/p/reina-neva-double-panel-vertical-designer-radiator-white-1800x413mm-7952btu/53392 What I have just found out is...

Not according to many sources on the internet that I have looked at.. Delta is calculated by determining the mean/average radiator temperature so in my two examples this would be.. (70C + 50C) / 2 = 60C average radiator temperature or (65C + 55C) / 2 = 60C average radiator temperature...

So in recent weeks I have been learning quite a bit and getting my new heating system setup right thanks to the helpful experts on this forum.. I have a question of the "Delta" and its effect on the heating ability of the system.. So as I understand it the Delta is calculated as.. (flow...

Yes, a new on and I have all the instructions.. I will see how it behaves this evening and then see if increasing the minimum on time is what's needed.. I decided to leave optimisation off for now and have set the program to be exactly the same as my previous stat so I can try and gauge any...

The TPI functionality in the thermostat is what is causing the boiler to fire for shooter periods. So this is as designed. From the Honeywell site. A TPI room thermostat works by continuously measuring the room temperature and calculating a difference between measured and target...

Fitted a Honeywell CM927 today and its switching on and off as it should to maintain the temperature but the boiler doesn't start burning immediately and by the time it starts it turns off again.. Boiler is a Worcester Bosch 32 CDI compact.. Is there a setting either on the stat to not...

Sounds like that's what I need.. What's the cheapest 7 day TPI enagles wireless stat you would recommend?

I don't but I do know that it starts feeling decidedly chilly a while before it switches back on at 21C in the screen.. It then heats all the way to 22.5C on the screen before shutting off so on the stat its a 1.5C difference.. In reading the TPI ones seem to have a much smaller variance...

I have a Siemens RDJ10RF.. According to the screen its switching on at 21C and off at 22.5C, it's set at 22C.. According to other thermometers (link on my Origan scientific weatherstattion clock thing) it's getting to about 20C before it comes on.. So either there is an issue with the...

Is there a wireless programmable stat that has a small temperature range between on and off switch points? What I mean is that the one I have (only one day and two on.off times) seems to have about 1.5C between on and off switch points so it starts to feel cold before it switches on again...

Thanks for the info.. I will have a go at rebalancing this evening and see how things play out from there.. To get a 20C drop I think the rads will pretty much all be just on. Like 1/4 turn from closed.. The towel rails will just be cracked open.. Will be interesting to see what return temp I...

I think I am going to need to learn the system and adjust it for the different weather.. I have put it up to 75C today because its been so cold.. I have a programmable stat too.. I have it at 22C comfprt setting in the morning and evening and 19C overnight and through the day..
