Hi all
im just reviewing out central heating system and was wondering if you can help with tell me which way i need to set it up to work efficiently
we have a Worcester 37cdi Bosch Gas Combi and a Honeywell CMT927 wireless thermostat, all the rads in the house have TRVs (minus the 2 bathroom rads which do not)
the way its currently setup is, the Boiler is set to number 5 (60 on the digital dial), The room thermostat set to 21C with timer and the Rad TRVs set to 4 or 5. Detached house with total 12 rads
we have a very busy household and there is always someone at home during the day, ( elderly parents, wife+baby), so the thermostat is set to near enough 21C all day long and lower over night
the room thermostat is in the downstairs hall way, the hall way has a radiator ( i know it shouldn't have a TRV but it has and is set to max )
now the way i think it works is, the thermostat tells the boiler to fire up maintain 21C in the hall way. In turn all the rads will warm up and will switch off until it reaches whatever the temp number 4 is on the TRVs. or if the TRVs set to 5, it will only heat up to 21C because the room thermostat over rides this.
is this the correct way of having it? ive read that people set the room thermostat to 25C, then adjust the setting on the boiler so it controls the temp and ive also read the room thermostat should be in the room most used, ie the lounge.
so im a bit confused
any experts out there want to shed some light please?
thanks in advance!
