Hi,
Ive recently moved into a new house and needed to rebalance the radiators in the house as some were cold. Having never done this before I assumed the idea was to get all the radiators at an equal temperature. Firstly I opened all TRV's and lock shields fully, I then used a laser thermometer and measured the actual temperature of the top/center of each radiator. I then slowly closed down the lock shields on all 'hotter' radiators until they were all of a similar temperature. I now have a system that heats up equally with all radiators reaching a max temp of around 75 degrees across the house.
Having read this site and many other I now realise I should have taken the temperatures of the flow/return pipe of each radiator and adjusted accordingly!!
My question is does the method i used achieve the same outcome or have I totally wasted my time??
Many thanks
Rob.
