Heat Pump Heats the House… But It’s Not Cosy. Emitter Changes or System Tweak?
Thanks everyone for your responses and apologies for the slow reply.
Mars, you hit the nail on the head - what we are after is a better distribution of heat. I've been around the radiators and tweaked things here and there and it's made some difference in previously cool areas like the hall. The kitchen does seem to require more effort - the radiator is defo undersized and the kitchen roofspace (despite us being told otherwise when we bought the house) has next to no insulation so we'll be getting that fixed.
I'll also make a new year's resolution to stop being so grumbly!
@alastair There I was, feeling grumpy, he said “Cheer up, things could be worse”, so I cheered up and sure enough, things got worse.
