I have been reading all the posts on here about one pipe systems, which is what I have in a pretty big house.
The system was here 20 yeas ago when I moved here. since then I have taken some rads out.. fitted TRV pretty much everywhere!!!
No plumber has ever said anything about not doing that!
One Rad in the kitchen was just taken off and the pipes capped years ago.
So all that said, my heating by all what I have been reading should not be working at all? But it does?
There are 2 fairly big ones that don't get more than luke warm hence I was on here looking for some advice.
Looks like I need to be taking all old rads off and flushing them?
Then taking all TRV off and replacing with special ones?
To change the system would need to rip the house apart as pipes weave in and out of walls and concrete floors.
Is there anything else I should be looking to do?
Advise gratefully received!
