As the weather starts to warm I'll be removing my existing heating system (old gas boiler, single rads) and replacing it with a combi boilder - most likely Vaillant 837.
I'm trying to design a flexible and economical system and wondered if what I'm planning is achievable and worth the effort.
I want to break the house up into zones, 7 in total, so I can control the temperatures in various rooms. Various bedrooms are unused, so providing them less heat seems logical. I'd also like to alter the temperature based on time of day. For instance, the main bedroom only really needs full temperature in the morning and last thing at night, so early evening it could be set lower.
I understand how each zone valve is linked to an individual thermostat, but don't fully understand what gizmo I need to wire all these into so the boiler only fires when needed.
