FAQ’S
-
By calculating the required BTU or kW from room dimensions, usage and insulation, then selecting an EN 442-rated radiator of matching output and balancing the system.
-
TRVs are recommended for most rooms because they help control temperature and reduce waste. Keep a room thermostat as the main control.
-
A towel rail that connects to central heating and also has an electric element so it can run independently in warmer months. It cannot run both heat sources at the same time.
-
In places where safety is critical, like schools, care settings and nurseries, where the outer surface must not exceed about 43°C.
-
Radiators cold at the bottom, discoloured bleed water, noisy boiler or frequent pump issues. We will confirm if a targeted clean or powerflush is needed and quote before work.
