Is the problem! They are simply not willing to engage their own, built-in, problem-solving abilities. I mean just look at some of the problems posted by some of the posters, and the originator is one good example. Then the most recent post today by the Jupiter character, where he had to be told...
The point is still going straight over your head.....
For the room stat to click off, the room temperature has to exceed it's set point, which means the TRV has to be set higher than the stat. IF the TRV is set higher, then the temperature will be controlled by the stat, the TRV cannot operate...
Correct Eric, but the point you seem oblivious of, is that the room stat switches on when it gets cold, the TRV switches off when it gets too warm in the room.
What's in a name? I repeat - a normal TRV fitted radiator, limits or restricts the temperature in the room. A room thermostat, is there to call for heat, when the temperature falls too low. As such, the two cannot work effectively if co-located, in the same heated space.
That would be as long as I would need, applying logic.
That was the sort of job I would have taught myself to do, and did, as a 12 year old.
Even more obvious, and simpler. Why is no one learning any basic, practical skills these days, is a question we ought to be asking. Why are so many...
I do absolutely agree with the limits, if I didn't make that clear - on both a safety, and amenity point of view, but without proper enforcement they are pointless...
Most are not a constant draw of 3Kw, if you think about it. Fan heaters, washing machines, driers, all usually include a thermostat, and switch off frequently, allowing both socket, and plug to cool down.
