My living room was originally a bedroom and the radiator does not really heat up the room on really cold days.

Room is approximately 4yds by 6yds and 10ft high celings. radiator is a single radiator just less than 600mm and approximately 1760mm long.

I suspect that I really need at least a double radiator. However I looked at some online and noticed that there are double radiators with single convector and double radiators with double convectors. What exactly does this difference mean and what do I really need?

My other question was around whether to fit a programmable thermostat. I currently do not have a thermostat in use and instead use TRVs on radiators along with a timer. Just wondered if there was any benefit to a programmable thermostat?

Get yourself a 1200 double rad from Screwfix and you will be like toast. Double convectors have more fins so more surface area giving off heat.


:D
