Hello,
Firstly, I am writing this on behalf of my parents, so forgive me if I don't have all the information. They live in a large semi-detached four bedroomed victorian house.
They recently had their old bolier (standard boiler with hot water storage tank) replaced with a Glow Worm 30cxi to provide heating and instant hotwater.
My mum now complains that though the hot water is instant, it takes ages for the radiators to get warm (around half an hour), where as with their previous boiler it was almost instant. They have TRVs fitted upstairs, but non down.
The boiler is controller by a Glow Worm Climapro RF programable stat.
When you switch the heating on via the stat, the boiler kicks into action because you can see the steam coming from the flu, it just takes ages to get the radiators up to temp.
Is this normal (some kind of slow heat up to save energy) or is something wrong? They had the installer back who seems to think everything is ok.
