All You Need To Know About Heating Valves

These days our modern heating system is all about controls to keep your home heated according to your needs in every room. For this radiator valves have made their appearance and they are increasingly efficient in saving fuel.

If you run a conventional system that runs on water filled pipes from your boiler it advisable to have a boiler thermostat, a wall thermostat and adjustable thermostatic radiator valves. The latter are called TVRs in the trade.

Ware talking about the valves on your radiators today and you need to understand that they do not control your boiler, but the room temperature in which they are fitted. They are just an added control system that you can regulate yourself.

These valves will shut themselves down if the temperature in a particular room reaches the temperature you have set for it. Once the room has cooled to below that temperature they will switch themselves on again.

This will give you complete zone control. You can save on utility bills by heating your living area to a higher degree and to a lesser temperature in bedrooms and guestrooms. If your living area benefits from double glazing and has a southerly aspect, you will certainly be able to save even further.
The reason you need a wall thermostat is that you can programme your heating system to come on at set times.  It is foolish to keep it running when the children are at school and you are working. You are able to choose a time before everybody returns to the roost. Your home will be nice and cosy when everyone comes back.


You will have to make sure that the time is set correctly before you programme your heating requirements. Unlike computers who adjust the time when the clocks change, you will have to alter this part yourself.

Once you have set all your controls you need not worry about the weather outside. When it gets colder your rooms will still be heated according to the settings you have chosen.
