Hi,
I have taken the time to read the FAQ's/Sticky sections and previous posts, all have which proved very useful however I would appreciate some more advice and thoughts.
Coming to the end of a renovation of old stone property. New CH/HW currently coming to the end of installation (Unvented system, oil condensing boiler). Property is listed and in national park/conservation area so restrictions on double glazing etc. We have insulated where possible and there is double glazing where allowed on new work. All other windows are good condition single glazed sashes. Rads with TRV's.
How best to use the CH for the house efficiently and cost effectively?
Should we have a digital programmable room thermostat (one or two?). If yes, where is it best to be positioned and do we then need a timer for the CH/HW as well? Or are other systems better?
Plumber is very good but it is difficult deciding how to proceed with a new system and never having lived in the house. Appreciate there has to be an element of seeing how the house performs but do not want to have to retrofit anything that can be done now.
If we use a digital programmer, would the boiler be on all day and the programmer/thermostat controls when heat is required?
Apologies for all the questions as I presume for most on this forum they are pretty basic. Many thanks in advance.
