Hi,
I need some recommendations on how to improve the central heating in my house. We have a 35kw combi boiler which pushes out good hot water to the taps and manages to heat up all the downstairs radiators just fine. The ones on the middle and top floor are warm or luke warm at best though.
There are 7 radiators in total upstairs (4 of which are large), all fed from one pair of 15mm pipes coming off the 22mm branch from the boiler. See pics.
Would replacing the single pair of 15mm pipes with 2 pairs of 22mm (one set for each floor) improve the heat output? It would need about 20x3m lengths of pipe, which is probably why it wasn't done in the first place...
Thanks
