Professional BTU calculation considers room size, insulation, windows, and usage. We provide free sizing service – we visit, measure, calculate exact requirements, and recommend appropriate radiators. This prevents expensive undersizing or oversizing mistakes.
Oversized radiators waste money on purchase and constantly cycle on/off via TRV (inefficient). Correctly sized radiators provide optimal comfort and efficiency. However, slightly oversized (10-20%) is acceptable and allows lower temperature operation.
Single replacement: 2-3 hours. New installation: 4-8 hours including pipework. Multiple radiators: 1-3 days depending on number and complexity. Most single radiator jobs are completed same day.
Yes, old radiator removal and disposal is included in our installation service. We disconnect, remove, and dispose of old radiators responsibly at licensed waste facilities.
If valves are modern, good quality, and not leaking, we can reuse them (saves cost). However, we typically recommend new TRVs for reliability and modern temperature control features. Old valves often fail shortly after disturbance.
Usually yes, if same connection type (BBOE, BOC, etc.). However, pipe centers may differ slightly – we adapt connections using valve tails to match. We assess during quotation to confirm compatibility.
