After scrolling through lots of forums I still cant find a solid answer to this question.
I have just had a brand new central heating system fitted in a three bedroom house, combi boiler is Vaillant ecotec 831 with a standard 24 hour timer. Manifold installation. Every rad is fitted with a good quality TRV except the bathroom as that radiator has not been installed yet due to ongoing work, just got 2 capped pipes.
The installer said we did not need a room/wall thermostat as every rad has a TRV so we can control each room.
Then a friend came who is a property developer and said we should have one.
Followed by an electrician who said we dont need one.
Some forums are saying you need one by law, others are saying they are optional. Some people are saying if you install one it saves on gas because it stops cycling as much.
I know if you have one then you remove the TRV from the rad in that area, but my question is simply...
should I have/need one? [/b]
