[QUOTE="benney50, post: 520491, member: 34264"] Hi. We have two radiators in our lounge which don't heat up like all the others in the house. We believe they are the last on the circuit. They have been bled (no air escaping) and both have a functioning tvr. We use a Magna clean and have had the system drained down and refilled. We have also installed a new central heating pump. The boiler is oil fired, a bit old but is serviced every year and has caused us no issues. Our thermostat is located in the hallway (it was there when we moved in). If we turn the thermostat up enough or turn the pump up to maximum the two radiators will get hot but we don't want to use excessive electricity/oil. We have measured the temperature in the hallway and the lounge and found the hallway is consistently warmer. Would it be worth moving the thermostat to the lounge (it is on the opposite side of the house to the hallway) or are there any other ideas/solutions we could try. I am not knowledgeable enough to try balancing the rads but would get a professional in if that was the most likely solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patrick [/QUOTE]
