POSITIONING TRVS

TRVIt is important to remember how TRVs work. Rather than sensing the temperature of the radiator, a TRV works by sensing the temperature of air around it and calling for heat where necessary.

Advise householders that concealing a TRV with furniture or behind a curtain will affect the performance of their system, making it less reliable as the TRV cannot accurately sense the temperature of the room.
