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
B

That means I wouldn’t be able to heat any warmer via the thermostat even if I wanted to.
Yes, that’s exactly the point. That’s why during balancing, leave the thermostats alone and fully open. There should be constant flow in all rooms. With a heat pump, the recommendation is to remove the thermostats completely.

If it actually gets too cold at -10°C (14°F), you will need to adjust the supply temperature. According to DIN standards, 35°C (95°F) is the design temperature; in your case, 40°C (104°F) was planned, which is not a problem with a gas heating system. You will find out what is sufficient when the time comes.
