    Of course you can sort this, you just need a heating engineer to fit another programmer or a twin channel programmer. Personally I would have digital thermostat and timer in 1 so that you can have the set temp different for different times of day.

    Fix the actual problem.

    You could easily sort out your bodged system by fitting one motorised valve rather than fitting individual TRV's on all rads and it would cost less.

    can you elaborate please? bearing in mind I know very little about valves etc

    Just bought and fitted the last of 8 Dafoss TRVs. £12 each from my local plumbers merchants. Very happy with how they work and look. And yes I can regulate each radiator as I see fit

    Excuse me but do you have to be so rude? You didn't read my post did you so don't be getting all narky. I said sort your programmer/timer ISSUES out. That is to say your system is inadequately controlled whether thats a setup or an installation issue I had no idea. But as I don't have a crystal ball and you hadn't described your system at all prior to my posting its a tad difficult to know what you have or don't have.

    So at this point, seeing as you have an attitude, you can sort it out yourself without any further assistance from this quarter. Peasant!

    So lets get this right.........if its 90F outside in summer, and you want a Bath/shower, your rads go on?. To start with you dont need TVRs to turn a rad off, just shut down the valve, but 1 rad usually the bathroom has to be left open cause of the CH Pump.

    No room thermostat and yes they can be turned off by turning the valve but at the minute they are very awkward to turn and last time I did it they were leaked. They are old style ones with washers in them. Just want an easy way to turn on and off my radiators is TRVs not what im looking?
