Should I relocatr the thermostat?
Rather than try and desribe the room I have linked to a plan (not too
scale) of the rooms concerned, location of radiators and thermostat. The question is should I locate the thermo elsewhere as it sits almost above one of the radiators, I could probably locate it in the hallway quite easily as its just the other side of the wall. All radiators have TRVs. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h194/scudo/room.jpg |

With a tamperproof setting. |

Harry - you are laying down the law again and making yourself look silly. If you had said "In my experience blah-de-blah", then fine, but my experience in possibly a different house layout to yours, is quite the opposite in terms of the where the controller is. And that's the point that one of the posters is making about having a wireless one - you need to experiment to see which is the best place for your house. In my case I did have the thermostat in the living room and because its temperature is influenced by solar gain, a wood burning stove if the sitting room door is open, people and the cooker, the thermostat went off too early for the rest of the house. I moved the thermostat to a cool back corridor, rebalanced everything, put TRV's on the living room radiators, and the system is near enough perfect. That's my experience - Oh and it's 2m above the floor ! |
