Hi fellas,
Just moved into a new house which has recently had a potterton combi boiler installed. All radiators have TRV's fitted apart from the bathroom and main bedroom.
However, there is no room thermostat or programmer, which seems a bit odd to me?
The boiler has a very simple timer on its front control panel which has allowed me to control what times during the day it comes on, which isn't the end of the world. Still doesn't allow me to control 5/2 days like my old one did which was much more convenient.
Whats really stumped me though is that there is no room thermostat at all. It seems the only way I can effectivley control the temp of the house is to adjust the system temp control for the CH directly on the boiler? This doesn't feel right to me becuase if I wanted to maintain the house temp at say 18 deg throughout the night (we have a baby), I have to leave the boiler cycling all night becuase all it can measure is the heat output of the CH water and nothing else.
I'm new to combi boilers - my old house was a traditional open vented type with stat/programmer - so I dont know if this is correct or not?
Thanks for any advice,
Phil
