The article needs to be rewritten in better quality. I might get back to this at some point when I have time but for now I'll list some pointers to get started (sorry, no sourcing).
The larger the system, the harder it gets to make it work by trial and error. This is why specialized engineering software exists for designing and balancing heating systems properly. However, today's radiator valves and thermostats are so good that even heavily unbalanced systems may work sufficiently well. Most engineering companies rely on this rather than doing proper calculations. The results may vary.
Heat pumps and floor heating are a completely different animal:

The result of the move request was: not moved. Reify-tech makes a good argument that has not been countered. Jenks24 ( talk) 05:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Hydronic balancing →
Hydraulic balancing – Hydronic balancing does not exist. You can perform hydraulic balancing on any hydronic heating/ cooling system as an act of optimizing the pressure of the closed system so energy is exposed to the surface at maximum efficiency.
