Afternoon all,
I know there’s a few discussions on this, but thought I’d post anyway to confirm my issue.
2x vertical rads (Ximax Fortuna) installed in extension a couple of years ago = 2 cold winters in this room, the roads take ages to heat up and the columns heat randomly and unevenly.
The manufacturer told me there’s no baffle in this specific radiator and no need to install a certain way round, when my plumber fitted them he checked and confirmed no labels and says no baffle in the rad.
The manufacturer has sent me baffles to fit, but I’m wondering whether maybe the plumber didn’t check originally and maybe the rads do have a baffle and they’ve both been installed upside down, what are the odds!!
So, what do I do, drain the rads and look through top and bottom to confirm no baffle, then fit the baffles? If so which side should I fit the baffles on, return? Worried if there on the flow water would run in, up across and out causing similar issues?
Please help, I can bear the thought of another cold winter!! Heating was on today for an hour and the rest of the house warmed nicely but this room barely rose .2 degrees!
Thanks!
