I have found the TRV has changed to whole idea of how big and how many radiators. It was in the 80's a case of a boiler with 28 kW output wanted radiators just slightly over say 32 kW and you had a single thermostat for all.
Today likely you want double the kW on radiators to boiler, as the TRV's turn radiators up/down even off so you want to use the heat to speed up heating of other rooms. The whole idea has been turned on its head. Even the reason for central heating, back in the 70's central heating was often just back ground heat, I have not removed covers off the fire and used it since the day I moved into this house.
I will admit the on/off oil boiler is not as good as the modulating gas boiler for hysteresis free heating of the rooms, with my mothers old house with a modulating gas boiler the rooms stayed at the set temperatures all day, the boiler never switched off and radiators were rarely hot, they were just warm enough to keep rooms at set temperatures.
The oil fired boiler does not produce a steady heat in the same way, rooms do over shoot, but in the main that is my fault for selecting Nest Gen 3 thermostat which will not connect to the TRV heads, but the fault is not bad enough to be worth swapping thermostat to one which will link to TRV heads.
