Which Heating Control?

Hi,

We have a Baxi Bermuda Inset 2 Boiler 50/4 that was fitted in 1998.

Don't have the spare money to change to a combi, and to be honest, theres nothing wrong with the boiler / fire.

We are wanting to upgrade the conrols, but unsure what to change to.

Wireless room thermostats with a main progrmable unit would be the best option i think, but need ideas as to which ones to buy?

All the radiators have trv's, the boiler is being serviced today & getting a full system flush.

If anyone can reccomend any controllers i would appreciaite it.

Mark.

    If the boiler is being serviced today how about you ask the guy doing the servicing what he recommends?

    Cheers

  • Progammable thermostat in the hall set at 15C

    Radiators with no TRVs, they are worse than useless

    I put a Digistat 3+RF in the lounge on my C/H before this cold snap and have been very pleased with it's performance as 5/2 programmer and reduced quick on/offs cycling on the boiler. It's pricey mind you, close to £100.
  • Keystone, it was serviced by a friend who just does repairs, the stats etc arent his field.

    Freddie, Trv's are good for me, i'm asking about room stats etc.

    Amcluesent, will have a look at those, thanks.
