I am in the process of replacing my old Boiler control.
Its a two channel type with a room thermostat on the Central Heating pump circuit.
The room thermostat which lives in the hallway is ancient, and I am wondering if its still needed? All my rads have thermostat controls.
Surely the heating system will work fine with just the Central Heating coming on and off at the set times of the day with the rad thermostats controlling the room temperatures?
Do houses actually still rely on the central thermostat control?
The reason I am wondering is the hallway never gets as warm as I would like the sitting room to be anyway, so surely having the theromostat cranked right up to maximum to keep the heating on is pointless, and I may as well just hardwire the Central Heating to stay on during Heating periods?
