Balancing Radiators
Hi, wondered if anybody can help.
I need to balance about 6 radiators in a ground floor flat as they are all cold at the bottom. The bathroom one was stone cold and I found the TRV pin was stuck. This was released and it was burning hot....however since then all the rads are stone cold now?
The last radiator (nearest the front door) does not have a TRV by the way!
Whats the best way to do this?

Re: Balancing Radiators
Sounds more like a circulation problem than a balancing one. I'd be checking pump and rad valves.

Re: Balancing Radiators
Overhaul all the valves, if one pin was stuck why should not all the rest be?
