Diagonal Heating Zones!!

[justasking]

Hope someone can help.

I have dual zone heating in my new build. I have a TPOne-M downstairs and a TPOne-B in the master bedroom upstairs. When I turn on the heating using the downstairs TPOne-M it heats up half of the ground floor, kitchen/diner, hallway and then 2 of the bedrooms upstairs (diagonally upstairs, not the bedrooms directly above the kitchen/diner). If I then turn on the heating in the master bedroom using the TPOne-B in that room, it heats up that room and all the rooms on that side of the house, but not two of the rooms on the opposite side. It also then heats up the living room downstairs which is diagonally positioned to the master bedroom. How do I change this so that it's a simple choice between upstairs (one zone) and down stairs (second zone)

so the downstairs is two large rectangles, one is a kitchen/diner the other a living room (both the same size), split by a hallway (narrower rectangle) and stairs leading up.

the upstairs is 2 bedrooms above the living room and another 2 above the kitchen/diner with a family bathroom over the downstairs hallway.

It’s the layout of the pipework, so that would need changing.

As Undertrained has said it's the pipework that's the issue get onto the developer it's their responsibility to correct this . Kop

If there's an upstairs manifold and a downstairs manifold, could it be a mistake in the wiring of the valves, rather than wrongly connected pipework?

If it were the wiring then it would be a case of upstairs controlling downstairs and vice versa.

OK. I was thinking of manifolds with individual valves for each loop, ie with potential to control the bedrooms separately from the living rooms etc. But now realise it doesn't have those. Cheers!

when you say pipework, are we talking about the pipework in the cupboard with the water tank etc where all the valves are located or in all the rooms?

Sort of, but it’s likely to be under the floor where it’s either a manifold or a series of tee joints.

Tbh your fecked best to put it all on one zone and live with it won’t comply with building regs but will work or go with a evo home system and have electronic trvs builders won’t pay for that as not cheap
