Oversizing radiators

M1957 · 27 Nov 2020

I'm considering replacing a few radiators and wondered if there would be any problems with oversizing them. My idea is to reduce the heating flow/return temperature to increase the efficiency of a condensing boiler (which isn't yet installed so I don't have any details).

Are there any problems with doing this?

fill your boots, just make sure that the pipes supplying the rads are of sufficient size

Yup, agree, no reason not to. Just don't go too far oversized and keep your boiler output against the system capacity in step
