Hello,

I am renovating my 3 bedroom house and currently dealing with central heating. I got a plumbing 'expert' who designed a central heating for the house:

It is all on hep2o with 22mm manifolds. From there 10mm pipes goes to every room. It looks like this:

As you can imagine this is sub optimal with the long runs. The big radiator in living space takes long time to heat up and never reaches the target temperature (but it is not too bad).

So I'm thinking to redesign this with minimum disruption (as most of the house renovation is finished).

I hope to run 15mm pipes from the manifolds to 3 corners of the house (red line on the diagram) and from there tee off with 10mm to each of the radiators (blue lines). This way the 10mm runs will be relatively short.

Will this work? Will this improve the circulation?
