Default Controlling temperature of water in radiators.

Is there some setup of a wet central heating system that will let radiators
be warm most of the time, and not cycling between over-hot and over-cold, as
mine are now?



At present I have a 15years old gas fired non-modulating boiler with a
pumped, vented, system, controlled by a wall thermostat. The controls on
this system will not avoid radiators that are either on and far too hot, or
off.



Thus the radiators cycle between being much hotter than is needed for just
compensating for heat losses from the rooms, producing unpleasantly hot air
around the radiators, and then cycling to a period of being colder than they
need to be.



Is there any setup that would give me the necessary heat output but in a
more balanced way, so the radiators will be on for longer but at an
appropriately lower temperature, with the period in the cycle when the
radiators are off being correspondingly much reduced?



As the age of the boiler is such that it could well be replaced, what kind
of setup should I be considering?



Regards.
