Hi there,
we have an old but perfectly working Barlo Blenheim boiler, 7 radiators with trv's fitted and I would like to ask your advice as to whether we are best A) have the heating coming on twice a day (5.45am - 7.30am & 4.30pm -9.30am) going full pelt to heat up the house. B) Leave the heating on constantly but at a low setting?
Which would be a more efficient/cost effective?
As for the TRV query, since they were installed the radiators make some strange noises. ie: when the heating first comes on, it sounds like water is filling up in a particular radiator. In others there's a weird noise that I find hard to describe but it's like water is being forced through a small space! Hope that makes sense. These issues are only on the upstairs radiators. The downstairs ones are fine!?!
