Hi,
After a bit of advice guys, house with a system boiler and gravity fed hot water, has central heating to most of the rooms apart from two bedrooms, which are adjacent to each other, want to add a radiator in both these rooms.
Will be replacing some of the radiators downstairs so a good time to do it, was thinking of lifting the floor boards in both rooms and trying to fine a suitable point in landing/bathroom or other bedroom, whichever is nearest to tee into the existing flow and return and run new pipe work to the new radiators.
What things do I need to take into consideration? My worry is that the boiler will not be 'man' enough to run an additional two radiators. Is this likely to be a problem? If so whats the easiest way of working out if the boiler will be up to the job?
Many thanks
