Default Are room thermostats out of fashion?

this normal?


Normal for a poorly designed installation, yes. And remember that heating
system electrics are beyond most plumbers.


True, but they'd have to be brain dead to get rid of the room stat, it's
only 2 wires. At worst they could have just used an old fashioned one and
turned the temp up and down as needed, still easier than going round all the
rads.

It sounds more like a rip off than incompetence, I wonder how much each of
those rad stats were charged at?
