Dual Channel & Single Channel controlers/Thermostats

[happysnapper]

Hi everone, I'm updating my boiler and fitting an RF receiver and RF wall mounted thermostat. Can somebody please explain what the difference is between the single channel and dual channel versions please?

thanks in advance

Single channel is for a combi, duel is for hot water and heating.

Better way is single will bring just heating on dual will do both

Hi again, I have a combi boiler and merely want control the temperature via a room thermostat instead of getting up and turning the boiler temperature up and down, so would any one recomend that I just buy a single channel wireless kit?

again thanks in advance

They might, but I would recommend a Drayton Digistat +3 programmable room stat.

It allows you to program the temperature exactly over 6 different time periods, and 7 days a week.

You can get them on Ebay for around £30.

Honeywell cm921 or 927 are the most user friendly and very good bits of kit yes you want single channel

Not a patch on the Digistat +3 namsag.
