Our front room is incredibly cold over the winter. I promised to do something this summer.....
Logburner was preferred option, but can't do it as the roof is in too poor a state to allow anyone on to it. So I did the calculations and find we have about 80-90% of theoretical radiator requirement in the room. However, this does not allow for the fact that there is a cellar underneath it (couldn't find any factors). Cellar roof / front room floor is uninsulated, but I am reluctant to go down that route initially as the upheaval it will cause ripping out the floor and relaying it etc.
So last night we tested the CH system. Really odd. Both radiators' tops get hot but the bottoms stay cold!! (I checked for air, there was none). Then we turned all the other radiators off around the house, and the bottoms got hot! Bizarre! I don't understand why that happens and can only assume that the system is possessed by a malevolent spirit.
Any ideas? Should we beef up the radiator size in there (not cheap) or try to work out why the bottoms don't get hot when the other radiators are on (exorcism neeeded, I think)?
Thanks in advance. Only on here intermittently but will of course read.
