How do I balance performance throughout the house across different radiators?
This can be achieved by adjusting the lockshield valve (usually covered with a plastic cap) to apportion flow across all the radiators in the property. Professionals usually set these up by checking the temperature differential across the inlet/outlet pipes; however a more basic balance can be achieved by impeding the flow of those radiators nearest the heat source (the boiler) and opening the valves to a greater degree on those radiators furthest away. My central heating has started coming on with my hot water (whether I like it or not). This is usually down to a failed motorized valve (on a conventional cylinder/boiler system). My combination boiler will only deliver hot water when the central heating is on! This is usually a fault within the diverter valve mechanism; this is not a DIY job.
