Hi
Just moved into a house with an interesting issue.
It’s a chalet style conversion, with a loft. The combi boiler is pre conversion and was discontinued in 2001. Every radiator has TRVs, and until we moved in there wasn’t a room stat (we’ve installed a wireless Honeywell).
The boiler seems to work fine – [most] radiators get hot, and there’s hot water on demand. It seems to cycle a lot, but I think that’s due to the demands of so many TRVs.
Only issue is the room radiators on the ground floor don’t get that hot, even with the TRVs on full, and even with all the other radiators turned off. They get warm, but never scorching like the others. Apparently the pressure flow in them is fine, and the valves do work. There’s no leak, as when you bleed them water comes out straight away. On the face of it, everything seems fine, except they don’t get as hot as I think they should.
Any ideas?
