Partial gas central heating (PGCH)?
 

My estate agent wants to market my property as having partial central
heating, despite having a radiator in every room and a chrome towel
radiator in the bathroom (all plumbed in on the gas central heating
circuit).

Is this correct?

Does a chrome towel rail not count as full central heating?

PS - towel radiator installed is:

Why does he think you have partial heating?

Could you have under sized radiators and thus (on paper) would need an extra
heat source to fully heat one or more rooms ?

Could your estate agent be a moron?

Is the central heating sufficient to maintain decent levels of comfort in
*all* rooms in very cold weather? Or do you have to supplement it with
electric heating?

Yes, ask him - it can't be anything to do with the towel rail (I suppose
it might just if it had been an electric one: is that what he thinks,
maybe?)

=============
Does 'radiator in every room' include radiators in hallway, landings, etc?
If not, that may be the reason for the 'partial' description.
Alternatively, he may just be being excessively cautious to pre-empt any
possibility of being accused of mis-description.

Could you see an estate agent going through a full set of heat loss
calcs in order to work that out? ;-)

Bo but these days, I could almost envisage a regulation stating that
they have to do so to prove that the rads are correctly sized, and that
in the absence of such calcs, the heating would have to be described as
"partial" as a butt-covering exercise!

Sounds like I can see a nice business opportunity is emerging here for
specialist plumbing/heating/electrical surveys....
