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?
LOL :~)
As IMM would say, sad but true !
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....
