Whenever any significant changes are made to a hydronic system, the general rule is to increase the total surface area of the home’s terminal units by using any mix of heat emitters, including baseboard, panel radiators, fan coils, etc., as this will bring down the water temperature requirement, which improves heat source efficiency and comfort, said Siegenthaler.

Like Meaden, many Britons have embraced the cosy, hearth-and-home feeling of burning wood.

Engineers estimated savings from improvements to the heating plant — which included insulating the pipes and boiler as well as adding TRVs throughout the 126 units — at more than $36,000 a year. The state authority provided $63,000 for those and other upgrades, which helped defray the costs. And there is a payoff in comfort. “Having the TRVs where we can adjust our radiators, it’s really great,” said Jane Maisel, a co-op board member and teacher. Over the years, Ms. Maisel and some of her neighbors had removed radiators to deal with their overheated apartments. “Now some people, like me, will probably have to put some back in,” she said.

The fact that the Tado is usually a bit cheaper than its more ‘designer’ rivals also makes it very enticing.
