No heating upstairs? That must be a strange house.

It was very common in housing estates built in the 70s early 80s.
Cheap and easy to fit in when building a new house.
The only danger you have is if the heat exchanger rots and perforates which is when you run the risk of carbon monoxide in the house. Not as safe in that respect as current boiler systems.
It is quick to heat up a house but will cool down quicker than a rad system. It will also dry out the air and shift dust so not so good for asthma sufferers.
Most people seem to block up the vents and install a rad system these days.0 -
It made my asma worse.0

That must be a strange house.You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on0 -

really? ooh well then our whole estate got robbed lol. these houses only had the vents downstairs. the reason for that is because of the flue. cant see how they got vents upstairs, but done us a favour really. no holes to be blocked up lolMy mum's house definitely has vents upstairs.You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on0 -
