Adjusting TRVs
Should I have to? We have an 8 year old 4 bedroomed house. No room
thermostats but TRVs on all (most?) radiators. IF the central heating system is properly set-up and balanced, should it be necessary to keep on playing with the TRVs to compensate for changes in outside temperature? Only I keep finding I'm having to turn radiators up when the weather's cold and down again a couple of days later because suddenly the house is to hot. (The weather is very changeable at the moment). I though the whole point of having thermostatic control was that, subject to the boiler being able to provide adequate heat output, the TRV would cause the radiator to maintain the room at aconstant temperature. Maybe I'm missing something fundamental but trying to keep the house comfortably heated in all rooms is causing me far more trouble than in my previous properties without TRVs. I've scanned many of the TRV related threads on this newsgroup and noted more than one contributor referring to having to go round the house to adjust all the TRVs. Are my problems consistent with a system that has never been properly balanced? Mark |
