Under Floor Heating thermostat - Inside or Outside the Bathroom?

[HandySparks]

You are welcome. Even if it is , and it is likely to be; I still prefer them on the outside . The last one I fit the cover just clipped on, and did not inspire me with confidence.

I concur. Although the thermostat and SFCU may, on paper, be suitable for use in a bathroom, the possibility of extended periods of high humidity mean that, if possible, I would site any electrical equipment outside the room, if only to prolong the life of the equipment.

That is the way I feel too. Just a belt and braces gadgie.

Siting a thermostat other than in the place it is supposed to control the heating of, is pointless.
It would be like siting a dawn to dusk sensor in the USA to control street lights in the UK.

Absolutely. However, it depends on whether it has a local or a remote sensor.

Yes, all of the bathrooms I have seen done have been from the probe.

Unless you can tell us exactly which make and model number of thermostat it is then we are all peeing in the wind as far as advice goes.
I have fitted them both inside and out of bathrooms and suchlike, it all depends on the individual controller and its suitability for the location.

Some are just an air temperature sensor which connect back to a central control unit, some are stand alone battery powered units, some are mains powered, some are wireless, some are hard wired. Some are flipping dangerous wherever you install them.
It is really an open question at the moment.

hit, nail and head spring to mind.

He hasn't answered the questions about the specifics of the bathroom/water / zones so we continue to guess

here is the layout of the bathroom and hallway.

and the thermostat in question is the 'heatmiser neostat programmable'

Why are you measuring from the basin? I refer you back to post #11

This is one of those questions where everyone has a different opinion.

I'd have the whole lot outside the bathroom and a remote sensor.

If you can get past his rudeness he is very knowledgeable and quite helpful.

I give as good as I get, when I ask relevant questions to OP's, such as on this thread, and they ignore the comments/questions then the gloves come right off.
