Hi,
Just a quick question or two,
I have two old single flat radiators in my lounge which I am told are arround 1200btu each, the boiler seems to be working all the time to get the room up to temp, now if I were to replace them with two double convector rads of the same physical size but with a higher btu, say 4000 each (various calculators give an average of 8000btu as the recomended size for the room). With the new rads would:-
a, the boiler use more oil to heat the same space if the thermostat was set to the same temp as it is now?
b. the radiators stay hotter for longer when the boiler is switched off until the room thermostat clicks in again ?
I guess what I'm trying to assertain here is if I replace my rads with new ones will they be more efficient ?
regards.
