Room thermostat - simple job ?

Live in a 4 storey house (end of terrace).

Boiler is Worcester Greenstar HE ZB 7-27 HE system

Currently the CH is controlled by the timer on the boiler itself.

This makes it difficult to control the room temperature and I am sure that some form of room thermostat would be better.

I am looking for a quick and easy solution.

I guess all I need is a motorised valve (?) (once I have figured out which valve below the boiler is the correct one to use) and a room thermostat (probably wireless).

However, to avoid problems I guess I should get someone in to install this as there may be other issues I need to look into or think about (to avoid "dry cycling" etc?)

If this is the case do I need to contact a central heating engineer or would a general plumber be able to assist?

Alternatively, if this is pretty staight forward I could do it with assistance from this forum?

never let a plumber touch central heating, its now too specilisedd. heating engineer is what you want.

have you thought about trvs?

shame on you breezer on two counts

I still plumb ( mind you I have opened my self up for a torrent of abuse, spcially from raden, that I should not call my self a heating chap, sorry cannot bring myself to say engineer cos we aint)

and the boiler must have an interlock (room stat)

OP get a competent person to do it for you its should not be too expensive, ring around
