    Howdee folks. Im addin a few extra rads to the house at the minute but my range is only 60000 BTU's. Boiler isnt able to heaten the rads & i think i need to change the burner inside to sometin bigger. The range was fitted in the house when we bought it but i dont know if its a job that can be done or not. The range has 2 burners. One for the oven & a seperate one for the central heating.

    Need to know what the best bet would be & what kinda price id be looking at for gettin this changed out.

    Cheers.

    As such you cannot change the burner to a bigger size.
    But you can put in a larger nozzle into the burner if it is not done so already.
    Your best bet is to get your cooker serviced and ask the stanley technician to install the largest nozzle that the cooker is rated for.

    If the cooker is under pressure to heat the house and rads you should consider zoning your radiators and hot water. Typically a 3 zone system, 2 radiator zones and a hot water zone. Each with a separate time clock to stagger the zones so they wont all heat together.

    Also if your radiators are sized correctly Thermostatic Radiator Valves are of benefit.

    stanley supply their oil cookers in a range of outputs, generally the smaller the output the cheaper the cooker often resulting in the slightly undersized slightly cheaper cooker being fitted.
    there will be an out put range that the burner can be set to but this is generally limited. as jimjimt said get it serviced and ask if it is possible to increase the output, just make sure you find out the current nozzle size, pump presssure and air setting before any adjustments are made.

    60,000 btu is a reasonable output, I would look into getting the cooker heating the rads you have before adding more.
    You could have other problems with your system
    old worn circulating pump, sludge in system faulty valves, stats etc.

    Thanks lads. I will go about gettin the range serviced & then fitting a bigger nozzle if possible. Zoning the house wouldnt be a bad idea either. Eventually intend to add a few other systems to house but just want to get this sorted properly for now.
    Will let uz know how i get on when i get it serviced. Cheers.
