Hello,
We've got a rear extension which we are just about to install the radiators for, but the plumber thinks we don't have enough heat for the open plan kitchen dining. I've attached a diagram. Using the DIY.com BTU calculator we need 13,000 for a dining room of 9 x 4m with 2.7m ceilings.
The BTUs are the following:
Plinth heater - 1800
Hall radiator (600x1824) - 8000
Dining room (300x1824) - 5200
By my calculation we have enough BTUs but he seems to think the hall radiator will not be effective in heating the big room properly. Do you think we need a bigger dining room heater?
