Just read a thread where someone has 16 in a 4 bed house, several people were shocked they had so many. So how many do you have and what size house?

3 bedroom 3 storey house here with 16 radiators so I don’t think the same amount in a 4 bed is a lot but maybe my house has above average number of radiators.

1 kitchen
1 downstairs wet room
2 living room
1 hallway downstairs
2 middle floor landing one each end hallway is long and wide 4mx2.5m
2 middle floor back bedroom
1 middle floor bathroom
1 middle floor front bedroom
1 3rd floor landing
2 3rd floor bedroom
1 en-suite
1 dressing room

8 in a three bed semi. None in the kitchen though, which seems a bit remiss.

This is oddly intriguing! 3 bed house, 2 story, 11 rads. 1 in each room or hall.

This could be an extremely dumb question please forgive me if it is but if I get extra radiators installed beyond the installation cost is it gonna cost any more money to run them on the basis that if the water is going round the system anyway and heating up does it make that much difference ?

Yes it will cost more as you are cooling that water that's been heated up faster, by running it through more radiators.

1 per room (4 bed house) but two in back room and 2 in master bedroom.

LakieLady · 05/11/2022 21:56

6 + a heated towel raid in a 2-bed semi (hall, living room, kitchen diner, each bedroom, bathroom and one in the airing cupboard).

4 bedroom house.
13, if you count 3 heated towel rails and a kick space heater in the kitchen

Kapalika · 05/11/2022 22:07

6 in a 2 bed terrace. I just counted and 2 don't work, which has really pissed me off.

InTheFutilityRoomEatingBiscuits · 05/11/2022 22:07

4 bed house, 8 radiators total, no other heating sources or towel rails.

we don’t have radiators in all the rooms, and no room has more than one.

bigbluebus · 05/11/2022 22:08

16 in a 5 bed 3 bathroom house. 3 of them are permanently turned off and room doors shut as we don't use those rooms.

AuntieEntity · 05/11/2022 22:14

5 radiators and two heated towel rails. I'm in a three bed bungalow.

AliTheMinx · 05/11/2022 22:15

14 in a five bed house x

snowmanshoes · 05/11/2022 22:16

11 in a 3bed but 3 turned off and another 3 are small

TotteringByGenteeley · 05/11/2022 22:18

12 radiators in a 5 bed house. Plus 2 wood burners.

We've not had any of them on yet this winter as it's been too mild down south, and we invested well in insulating the house.

12 in a 3 bed 3 story house

Muchtoomuchtodo · 05/11/2022 22:27

9 and 3 heated towel rails in a 4 bedroomed semi.

we use all of the rooms every day. This number seems to work well with thermostatic valves on most of them

bluechameleon · 05/11/2022 22:43

9 in a 4 bed house. One in each bedroom, living room, kitchen, hall then a heated towel rail in each bathroom.
