Hi All,
I've just moved house, the previous occupants had a conservatory fitted and have had a rad fitted - the rad never seems to warm up at all which means that teh conservatory seems to be very cold, checking the plumbing the conservatory rad is fed by a T-Piece connected to the dinning room Rad. From what I can read this means that really only one or the other Radiator will heat up and it seems as if I will have to run new pipework if I want both to work - is that my only realistic option? I have played with the lockshield valves on both Rads and can't seem to find a good balance.
If I shut off the dinning room Radiator should that force all of the hotwater to goto the conservatory (the conservatory is cold but the dinning room is quite warm and I am hoping that the rooms around the dinning room will be enough to keep it all nice and warm.
Cheers for any advice
Dave
