I know!!

She gets on that lappy and forgets she has job to go out to. :mad2:
 
All as above .. BUT do NOT fit your room stat in a room that has a radiator fitted with a TRV.

Remove the TRV and replace it with an ordinary wheel head type (ordinary radiator valve) otherwise you'll never be able to control the damned thing!!

I would disagree with this, I've been wiring new gas installs for a good while now and 9/10 the best place to fit a stat is a living room. I did at one point fit them in the hall, which always had the one non trv'd radiator and more often than not the tenants/customers would complain the heating clicked off before the main rooms were hot....

so we started fitting them in the living rooms because this is the room most ppl spend their time and also if it got too hot and the other rooms were cool, you simply turned down the trv slowing the heat going into that room and giving the rest of the house time to heat

thats just my opinion but lol

id also recommend danfoss thermostat/timers. Either the tp5000 or tp7000 are my usual favourites

You disagree with what????

In fact you're almost in complete AGREEMENT with me!!

The living room is exactly where I fit a roomstat too for the same reasons that you yourself do... I have NEVER seen the sense in fitting it in the hall because not many folk sit in the hall watching TV or eating their dinner - just as you have indicated!!

All I said was don't have a TRV )that's a Thermostatic Radiator Valve in the same room as a Room Stat!!

You say slowly turn the TRV down, but you get more control just slowly turning an ordinary wheel head valve down on the radiator.

Other than that we are in agreement!! :)
