We have recently moved into our flat that has a Ferroli Combi boiler (with separate digital timer) however no room thermostat. Any suggestions on what room thermostat to install and is this an easy process?
yup. pretty much. 2 srcrews for the transmitter 2 for the receiver, a mains cable into receiver (normally from the system live supply) and cable from receiver to boiler. Normally done within the hour.
Because if its a separate timer i can put money on it being sited as close to the boiler as possible which is going to mean its in the kitchen or in a compartment of some sort. (am i right mullins?) If you were to replace this with a thermostat unit it will not be in the correct place for optimum temperature sensing so you will still need to use a wireless programmable thermostat to overcome this thus increasing the overall cost.
If we are getting pedantic though, it is worth mentioning that the transmitter should not be sited in a room where the radiator has a TRV fitted so as to conform to building regs part L 2004. This "should" increase system efficiency but in all honesty its not going to be noticeable.
