Radiators

Any

Hi,


I have a radiator and heating question.


We currently have an old-ish combi boiler, which will be soon replaced.


2 questions:
- I would like to replace a radiator in the kitchen for a larger one. It is currently something like this http://www.screwfix.com/p/kudox-premium-type-22-double-panel-double-convector-convector-radiator-white-600-x-800mm/70404
Now I don't have more space on the wall, but I would like something with bigger heat output... We only have one of those for a big room (kitchen) and it is quite cold in there.
Anything you can advise?


- When we will be having new boiler fitted, we will also have new plumbing (larger renovation works). Can I just add an extra radiator to current layout? It's not a question of putting it on the plans - it's more of a is there a limit a boiler can manage?


Thank you

The boiler should be sized to suit your heating requirements, e.g. if you have N radiators at Y output you need NxY boiler capacity. Always err on the side of caution by having slightly more boiler capacity than you need immediately.
