Title: Always hot radiators.........
Post by Matty1379 on Feb 26th, 2009, 11:12pm

Is there a straightforward reason why my radiators are always hot, even when the heating system is turned off at the control panel? It's not always the same radiators that are hot and a radiator in the en-suite is always cold?! The system also makes a gurgling noise even when the control panel says it is not on? The thermostat is set to 16 degrees yet the rads stay on and heat the house to 23 degrees?! Please help.
