Hi all,
I've been reading through some previous posts, but still not too confident that I've got the answer to my specific need.
I'm looking to install radiators into 2 rooms which do not currently have any installed.
The house is a Victoria midterrace, solid wall (~220mm), ~100cm insulation pitched roof. Both rooms have heated rooms below (suspended ground floor). With a 3 year old condensing boiler that I would like to run as close to optimal (50c?).
Would oversizing the rads help achive this and are there any downfalls to consider if doing so (higher bills)?
The results from calculators are wildly different, some having almost 1000BTU/300W differences with the same spec, so unsure what I should be looking for.
Office size:
H: 2.83m
W: 2.82m Single external wall
L: 3.4m
Double glazed window:
H: 94cm
L: 161cm
(1.52m²)
SW facing
Bedroom size:
H: 2.83m
W: 4.6m Single external wall
L: 3.5m
2 double glazed windows:
H: 92cm
L: 163cm
(3m²)
NW facing
Cheers
