cold radiator

Cold Sassy Tree is a 1984 historical novel by Olive Ann Burns. Set in the US state of Georgia in the fictional town of Cold Sassy (based on the real city of Harmony Grove, now Commerce) in 1906, it follows the life of a 14-year-old boy named Will Tweedy, and explores themes such as religion, death, and social taboos. An incomplete sequel to the novel, Leaving Cold Sassy, was published in 1992 after Burns' death.

    Ultra heat rads and EPH trv's any good?

    Hi all Been quoted to replace 12 rads and valves, when I asked what they use. He said ultra heat rads and EPH trv's. Anyone used ultra heat rads or EPH trv's? Would you expect them to be any better than Screwfix Kudos?

    9 towel rads on primary with TRVs - good idea? With picture/schematic.

    Hi All, Thanks for your time. Planning a complete house refurb, where the utility/WC/bathrooms sit right next to the riser which will take the primary up to the cylinder in the loft. It would be easiest to take these towel rads off this primary. All the other rads are on the opposite side of...
