Any heating engineers able to advise?
Hope I have posted this in the right section.
I have just received a survey report for my new house purchase. It advises before exchange that I get a heating engineer to inspect the central heating system and boiler for its efficiency and capacity to heat the house.
Are there any minimum requirements for the number of radiators to room sizes - or boiler size for the number of radiators it is to service?
The only reason I ask is that the living room has no fire and one double radiator (never bought a house without a gas fire). The house is only 10 years old so I assume it has been sufficiently warming the occupants in that time and had a previous NHBC or similar that covered this. All other rooms seem to be ok served by one radiator.
Anyway, any advice on next steps and if an engineer is needed, what would the cost be to check this?
