I have recently had a Ravenheat 85T condensing boiler fitted in loft, with a hard wired (not the wireless version) Salus RT500 programmable thermostat in the hallway. This thermo operates between 5 and 35deg C and uses 'volt free switching' as advised by Ravenheat.
My questions are simple ones (everyone says that !) :
- If the loft temp falls below 0 and the house thermostat registers above 5 deg C, will the water in the boiler itself freeze ?
- If so is there a frost thermostat I can buy (needs to be volt free switching) that I can use in the loft to protect just the water in the boiler ?
All the pipes in the loft are properly lagged but there is no heating in loft of any form so boiler is my only concern as it will get very cold in there.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
