Wall Thermostat Question

Korkyb

When I moved into my house (N.E Scotland) I had the opposite problem, we had a wall thermostat but no TRV's (now have them fitted to all radiators).

Our wall thermostat is in the living room & as its the place I spend most time I'm quite happy with that.

A TRV Controls the temp of the ROOM it doesnt stop the boiler fireing up every 15 mins to see if the stats are open / closed.

At last - a voice of sweet reason. I can get my head round that process and whilst I am not sure as to the payback period, I will go ahead and get a wall stat in the lounge.

Did you bother to read other opinions? maybe you weren't being told what you wanted to hear?
Anyway, hope you get the right advice for your house, I would always recomend getting a proper heating engineer to do this tho.

I guess Gadgee did read the other opinions - it's been going on long enough - & came to the same conclusion that energy watch et al came to - a room thermostat is a necessity & TRVs are a recommended benefit to economic heating.

<DEFENCE>Maybe too much information in the thread for the old brain to absorb</DEFENCE> but Roswell's analogy of 'Mr Boiler' sitting in the back waiting for a call from the troops switched on my light...

I would purchase a system from Housetech Solutions. I just have and its brilliant. Akllows programming of trvs for time and temp for each room so you are not heating rooms when you are not using them a friend of mine purchased thesystem and he has had it now for 2 years and is saving about 30 per cent of his bills per annum. The service from Housetech is also excellent...
