ᐅ The children's bedroom is too warm in the new build.

Hello everyone,

We have finally been living in our newly built house for two weeks now. We have underfloor heating throughout the entire house and a digital thermostat in every room. All thermostats are set to 21 degrees Celsius (70°F) throughout the house, and everything works fine overall. As soon as the thermostats reach 22 degrees Celsius (72°F), they switch off—except in the children’s room. There, we have noticed that the temperature easily rises to 23 degrees Celsius (73°F) overnight, and the floor remains constantly warm compared to the other rooms.

I have already contacted the company that installed everything for us, but it will probably take some time before I receive a response. As a curious person, I would really like to understand what could be causing this or what the reason might be.

Best regards

Is the heating manifold located in the children's room?

The distribution board is located in the hallway next to the children's room, but there are no cables running through the children's room to other areas.

Reduce the airflow from the children's room slightly; that should solve the issue.

With my children, it’s the opposite; anything below 23°C (73°F) already feels like physical harm to them. We have already increased the flow rate so that the children's rooms are the warmest and not the entire house above 23°C (73°F).

Best regards,

Can I simply reduce the flow by turning the knob? Or is there something I need to consider, and does it affect the other circuits?

Before manually adjusting: try simulating the condition first by setting the room thermostat to 18°C (64°F) or lower. Does anything actually happen (in the heating distributor and in the room)? It’s also helpful to temporarily hang up a reliable old-fashioned thermometer. Our subjective perception of warmth is not reliable and can, for example, interpret a different floor covering or warm wall colors as "oh, this room is warm."
