Hi,
I have central heating as follows; Ideal combi boiler 30, 3 rads upstairs 3 rads downstairs. Controlled with wireless enabled 2 zone programmer and 2 wireless room thermos. There are 2 x 2 port motorised valves on the return pipes.
I was told that it was a dual zone system and it was installed only 3 months ago, but there is a problem. When I switch a zone off i.e. upstairs ,the rads still get warm in that zone, once the other zone (downstairs) comes on and vice versa.
I have checked the motorised valves and I think they are working, based on the return pipe of the zone that is turned off being cold.
I have spoken to the installer and he said it's a problem they have had with a few installations and they don't have a fix for it, then mentioned something about the valves not working due to not having enough radiators fitted! Which seems odd that they would install it in the first place.
Any suggestions or advice as to what the problem might be would be gratefully received
