Auto-balancing Thermostatic Radiator Valves - Drayton Controls

Drayton has launched its new auto-balancing TRV technology, available for two of its most popular ranges – the iconic TRV4 and RT414. Unbalanced systems can result in radiators not heating up properly, causing hot and cold spots to emerge in rooms within a property. This also results in heating systems not being able to work to optimum levels, with condensing boilers failing to enter condensing mode. This results in not only higher heating costs or greater emissions than expected, but an unbalanced, ineffective heating system also leads to consumer dissatisfaction, which no installer wants. TRVs are not complex items and diagnosis is usually very simple. Just take a few minutes to evaluate the situation before searching the net for “how to remove a radiator with a thermostatic valve?” and flooding your home when a simple fix would have sufficed.TRV’ might sound like a model of car, but it actually stands for Thermostatic Radiator Valve.
