Open radiator - airing cupboard or hallway.

[t0m]

I have an Oil fired combi and with the massive rises am looking to save cash - always foccusses the mind eh!

As a result I have turned down radiators in the rooms least used.
Fitted a wireless stat in the downstairs hallway, was in the dining room that we never use and thus now have the radiator on very low.

Q: the open radiator is currently in the airing cupboard, would it make more sense for that to have a TRV fitted and the open radiator to be the one in the downstairs hallway where the room stat is?

Logic isn't my strong point!

The rad in the room with the room stat is recommended to be open as you suggest.If it has a trv,just remove the head.As for the small rad in the A/C,it can be left as is.

Thanks GasMan.

By leaving the airing cupboard on will surely mean that it will continue to heat up and result in a waste of energy (two open rads)?

or, is it that systems will favour any other 'open' radiator before that one?

Thanks.
