Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

I phoned a plumber last night and he said an airlock could be the cause of it and told me to bleed the downstairs radiators when the upstairs ones are turned ON, He also said it could be the diverter valve (wouldn’t be surprised as it’s probably the original one when the house was built). I’ll bleed the radiators first though and see if that does the trick

If it’s diverter valve mate they’d all be off does sound like airlock sometimes if you turn all upstairs ones off it will force out to ground floor rads make sure you open TRVs fully if you have them then open upstairs ones and bleed highest radiator. Good luck

I’ve just tried that, still no luck, set the Hive thermostat to 30 degrees too and can hear the boiler working etc and the piping around the pump is hot so the hot water is there but just not circulating through to the downstairs radiators, frustrating

Weird that gotta be honest, if you've shut upstairs rads off its gotta go somewhere. You haven't turned the bypass rad off have you.

Think it may be the pump according to my other half he’s not a plumber
he said heat rises that’s why upstairs is on
 
Mrs is asian and lived here since 2007.
The other week when we had that mini heat wave,she was still cold.I was working through it all and it was awful.
We have had our electric blanket it on a few times before sleeping but not the heating yet.

So I had one plumber who came and looked at it and he was literally looking on YouTube to find out what the problem was (absolutely clueless) but I’d paid for someone to come and sort it as I was eager to get it fixed asap, anyway I told him to just leave it and go, then got someone else round who was recommended and he identified what the problem was in about 5 minutes which turned out to be the pump (it has lasted pretty well though so can’t complain). All sorted now anyway

Brilliant mate all set for winter. :-)
 
Reading an article in one of todays supplements which recommends if you turn your thermostat lower than 18 degrees C this encourages our bodies to grow more ‘brown fat’, a form of tissue found around the chest and neck that burns energy to produce body heat, keeps your weight down and your energy bills………
enough for me to keep heating off this winter
