Hi All We have a simple vented CH system with a back boiler which probably will need replacing soon, but lets not go there ... anyway, some rooms get much too hot, and I am thinking of fitting TRVs all round (except the bathroom rad).
Thinking about this ... is the effect at the boiler of fitting TRVs to cause it to operate at a reduced duty cycle? I presume if the boiler was a 'modulating' type (If I understand the terminology correctly) it would operate at less than 100% capacity, but with a 'bang-bang' system such as ours I'm wondering about possible reduction in heating costs.
Also, the actual fitting of the TRVs, and draining of the radiators ... I know about the Drayton bungs at the tank end, but I have occasionally wondered about making things easier at the actual radiator end. I've come across this product (with the suspiciously similar name 'Draineasy', and an even more suspicious recommendation from, British Gas):
Thanks J^n
