Hi.
Hoping someone can advise.
My heating system has 19 radiators. 13 downstairs and 6 upstairs.
The downstairs layout has 3 loops with feed and return. The first loop has 3 radiators, the second loop has 7 and the 3rd loop has 3. All 3 loops return to the boiler via the main 22mm pipe.
However, the second loop with 7 rads, also feeds the 6 upstairs rads, meaning a total loop of 13.
Is it possible that the reason my upstairs radiators take ages to get hot, is because they are on a large loop of 13 radiators? Is this just a poor design?
It would be fairly easy to link the upstairs radiators to the first downstairs loop making a loop of 9. The second loop would then be reduced to 7, and the third loop to remain with 3.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Gary.
