hi all
i would appreciate any help you can give
where to start
we live in a three story townhouse
our boiler and central heating system is over 30 years old
the boiler works (we get hot water)
the pump works (new)
the heating only comes on if the hot water is on aswell
we have tried again and again to balance our system.
the kitchen (1st floor)is the first radiator to heat up. gets very hot when wide open if you try to close it by a mm. it just gives up and goes cold.
try opening it again it won't work unless you turn the heating on and off 3 times
the bathroom(1st floor) radiator second to heat up. the right hand side pipe heats first, but the left hand pipe gets hotter five mins later
the living room( 1st floor) is a 10ft rad and only warms if you turn all other rads off.
there are lots of other probs aswell but lets take one thing at a time.
i have coped with 1 rad on all winter and just can't bear getting to next winter
please please help
is it that we just have the house that jack built
