Bypass radiator = cold house

[Cyclistbruce]

Hi,

We live in a new build town house. Our thermostat is in the corridor outside the kitchen along with the bypass radiator. Only problem is because it's outside the kitchen it's generally pretty warm. This means the heating doesn't come on during the day leaving the rooms upstairs cold! Only way is to turn the thermostat up really high, which then leaves the downstairs uncomfortably hot.

Is there a better way of doing this? For instance, just having TRVs on all rads and no thermorstats?

Have TRV's on all rads except where the thermostat is, and move the thermostat into your living area.

Also have the system balanced.
