Have a 2 bedroom semi detached house which is 35 years old. One of the bedrooms is distinctly colder than the rest of the house.
We got a Worcester greenstar 34 cdi combi fitted 2 years ago, with a wireless room thermostat fitted in the living room.
There are 5 radiators in the house and a chrome towel radiator in the bathroom. The 5 radiators are all original,with no TRVs fitted,just a screw (on/off) valve on each.
Upsatairs and the hallway is generally much colder than the living/diner/kitchen where the room thermostat is currently set to 22 degrees. The coldest room, is 16-17degrees(bedroom) and the other bedroom 20ish degrees.
If i turn the thermostat up to say 26 degrees it increases the temp in the bedrooms so i know the rads aren't blocked on needing bled etc.
I have had extra loft insulation added and i am considering having cavity wall insulation installed too.
I realise i could shift the room thermostat into the hallway (where it is colder) to increase the temp in the bedrooms,but that would make the living room too warm?
I basically want to know how i can balance the temperature throughout the house better (especially upstairs)
