Hi peeps,

The thermostat that controls our central heating boiler is in the,
fairly small, hallway. Is this the best place for it?

If our living room and kitchen doors are closed and someone opens the front
door won't the stat think the house is freezing and fire up the heating? If
the stat's trying to get the hallway up to, say, 28 degrees, wouldn't the
rads in other parts of the house be getting hotter than they needed to?

Our last house had the stat in the living room, which sounds a much better
idea to me - if the main room is warm then the rest of the house is too,
surely?

Also, I'm thinking of putting TRVs on all the rads so that the bedroom rads
can be turned down in the daytime. I'm guessing that they can just be
swapped with the existing valves (after draining down of course)?

If I did this would it mean that I could leave the stat where it was? It'd
be a right pig to move and I'd rather not!

Any problems with this, or advice?

Ta,

Si
