I am thinking of balancing my heating system. On my landing there is a room stat with a radiator opposite. Does this radiator need balancing too or should the valves be fully open?
 
Stat opposite a rad. Thats great for your gas bill but carp at trying to warm the house , unless its turned right up .
 
i presume its not got any trv on it?

i would turn that one off first and open the one furthest from boiler up fully open then work your way back to the boiler. opening each l/s one turn on, then finally the hall rad 1/2 turn on.
should heat whole place before stat is satisfied.
 
Hi Adam, sorry to be a Doris but unless you are confident in replacing a leaking radiator valve I would not recomend touch them. See about one in five lockshield valves leak soon as you turn it.
 
There is a thread in the sticky section of this sub forum called "Croppies balancing thread"
You may think it concerns a perverted old man performing circus tricks, but you'd be wrong
It's quite iformative
