Hi, Our cookie cutter home had a 2 zone combi heating system with two wired thermostats. The stats were placed in the worst spots imaginable - in the warmest, east facing, rooms which left the rest of the house cold since the warm rooms weren't calling for heat as often to sustain the...

I understand that not being on site is hard to make a proper judgement. I can provide floor plans with the little knowledge of the pipe work in the house. I think the biggest question for me is the existing installation that I have currently would there be any major modification - i.e...

So I phoned around a few heating engineers today. Didn't get too much of a great response however one was saying that because I only have 1 set of flow and return pipes on the boiler there isn't much that I can do. He did however recommend Honeywell's Evohome (working out at £120 per...

Firstly, quoting your response is quite indicative of me reading the responses here. When you said that "You are alreasy fully pumped - sadly systems installed in Ireland fall well short when it comes to proper control!" I took this as the fact that due to some reason (outside my...

I assume you mean by elv wires - elevated wires? If so, I don't want to run them beside each other for fear of EMI between the electrical cables and the network cable. So, I have made a final picture (not to scale) - but should confirm everything for my peace of mind...

All, I am running some Network cable in behind a plasterboard partition wall. The plasterboard wall separates two rooms either side. Side A contains a double gang socket (ref 101) and a single light switch (ref 102). Side B contains only a double gang socket (ref 201)...
