Replacement wireless programmable room stat

hc25036

Our 6 year-old Danfoss basic wireless room thermostat has developed a mind of its own and seems determined to either cook us alive or reduce us to poverty via our gas bill!

We want to replace it with a decent programmable wireless room thermostat, but the choice is bewildering and reviews of, for instance, the Danfoss TP1 and a nice-looking Siemens equivalent all mention reliability issues.

Can anyone recommend a reliable wireless programmable room thermostat that will work with our Worcester combi boiler?

if you don't want smart then last time I looked this one came out top of my list

In the end I went smart and got OWL as it also had temp/time control for my water tank.

You can always choose something like http://amzn.to/2AAZKOI or buy a Honeywell equivalent which is double the price.

On the other hand, why not try a smart thermostat like Nest (http://amzn.to/2hvzDVy) or Hive (http://amzn.to/2hqcssb) which will help you save energy by learning your habits and also extend the controls to smartphone through which you can control away from home.

A smart thermostat may be slightly more expensive but will pay for itself with in a year.

All the best.

Thanks getmore4less - the Honeywell looks just right, but on Amazon 50% of the reviews say the display fails within a couple of years. That's part of my dilemma!

magn8p - the wife just floored my by saying 'what about one of the Hive thingies'! previously she had said no way to fancy internet controls... I'll sneak Alexa in yet!

Put it on the wall, just don't connect to the boiler then the wee wifey can wind it up everytime she feels cold without causing sky-high fuel bills.
