House not heating up!!

[Colin5599]

My parents have just moved to a fairly remote old cottage.
The gas central heating system is a glowworm boiler and feeds only 6 single radiators in this cottage. Today the central heating was on all day and all the radiators were very hot but the temperature in the rooms varies from only 15-18 degrees C.

The cottage has double glazing throughout.
Should these single radiators be replaced with double radiators to give of more heat and is this likely to heat the cottage quicker?

Any replies would be of help.

Thanks

The radiators should have been sized correctly if it is a professional install, DIYers tend to fit a radiator cos it fits where they want it.. If the cottage has been empty for some time, then it may take a while for the fabric of the building to warm up after the heating having been off for a long time..

Some of the rooms of the cottage are fairly large, ie 15x13 and 11x18 and the both have 4' and 6' radiators respectfully.

I think it could have been a 'homer'!
