I am planning to replace my old boiler with a new oil boiler. Gar is not an option where I live.
I want to maximise the efficiency of the system controls. I already have three heating zones (living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms) and would like a controller which could manage these zones, DHW and provide load compensation.
My thinking is that it must be more efficient to have all the zones managed by a single controller as that could control boiler firing more efficiently than the present independent programmable thermostats and load compensation should keep the boiler operating in condensing mode more often.
Apart from the (expensive) Honeywell hometronic and Smile systems, I have yet to find a controller which can do this. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of using a Grant boiler but again am open to suggestions. Veissman sound good but don't seem to sell oil boilers in the UK.
Thanks for any ideas.
Mike.
