Gas radiator question

Blue Duck

Hi,

Just moved into a 20 year old house.
Has a very good gas boiler and radiators throughout.
Radiators are only sinlge ones and not providing enough heat.

Im thinking of upgrading them to double rads with much better BTU.

So, the question is will my boiler be ok to handle bigger rads, will there be a noticable difference if i upgrade, what is the cost benefit of upgrade? Should i only do main rooms for max benefit?

Thanks

Depends on what size boiler you have already

Have you tried turning up the Boiler thermostat.

I turned the thermostat up last night and i think it made a difference.
Might stick with that option for a while

Thanks for your help!
