Opinion sought on adding TRV's

View the thread, titled "Opinion sought on adding TRV's" which is posted in Central Heating Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

My CH system has nominal 9.5 KW of radiator capacity and 13 radiators plus the indirect hot water cylinder through a diverter valve. All but 4 radiators have TRV's fitted. Those that don't are the downstairs toilet (0.29 KW) Hallway that has the system room stat (0.84 KW) kitchen (1.25 KW) and dining room (1.4 KW).

Radiator KW ratings are nominal catalogue spec just to give a sense of relative size.

The kitchen gets heat from cooking activity and the dining room picks up solar and has a computer that chucks out heat. These seem good candidates for TRV's as the missus and daughter tend to open windows if it gets too warm.

That would leave the hallway and downstairs toilet without TRV's at about 1.1 KW.

Any obvious snags with this plan please?
 
I’d do the downstairs toilet while you’ve got the system drained, that way every room is controllable by a thermostat.
