Hi all,
Since I have moved into my house 3 months ago, 2 radiators downstairs were very slow to heat (sometimes not at all). We have open plan, so downstairs was very cold and i fitted a new radiator in the living area, fed via bedroom directly above. Downstairs is now toasting with only this one!
BUT, the other two radiators are not working properly. As far as I can see, as all pipes are hidden, the first radiator from the boiler is in the utility room (which is working properly) and the second is one of the rooms upstairs (all upstairs are also working)and then it returns back downstairs to feed the two that are slow to heat. Is the problem related to the upstairs then downstairs set-up?
I have shut off all radiators upstairs and they are still slow to heat downstairs
On investigation I found that the bathroom radiator supply and return have been crossed. There is an isolating ball valve on the feed and a TRV on the return.
So, is it one or the other problem, or a combination of both?
