Please could I ask for someone to help me with sizing a rad for my living room. I have tried about 7 online sites so far, and have results ranging from 4379 to 6918 BTU's, which I find confusing as the same details are entered for each.
To give a bit of detail, I live in a bungalow that was built in the early 80's in Hythe Southampton.
The room has one exterior wall (on it's length) (brick, cavity insulated) with a double glazed upvc patio door and faces south. The 3 remaining internal walls are of block plastered construction, with the 2 width walls having a bedroom and the kitchen on the other side. The last remaining (length) wall divides the living room from the hallway.
The floor is carpeted over solid concrete and a pitched roof loft space above above the ceiling, which is 100 mm+ insulated.
The size of the room is:-
Length - 4.97m
Width - 3.58m
Height - 2.40m
The patio door is 4.99m2 (2.46mx2.03m).
At the moment, the room is heated by one old single panel rad which is roughly 600 x 1750.
I'm looking to replace it with a type 21 rad with TRV and hopefully by doing so can get away with a smaller length rad.
I'd be grateful if someone could please advise which size (BTU's) rad is required.
