Hi,
Is there anything in the regs for new boiler/central heating installations requiring a wireless room thermostat rather than a hard wired one?
Thanks.
There's only one advantage of wireless.....you don't need to install the wires .
It's not a problem if you get it right in the first place .
Relocating a wireless room thermostat post installation would be easy, but it would mean moving a TRV as well.

as a poorly located thermostat may consequently lead to poor performance of the system as a whole.

If not what are current preferences in the industry?
Having got the thermostat location right in the first place a wired thermostat could not get moved to another location but a wireless one could be moved away from the optimum location.
They can also incorporate much more intelligence than the original basic wired versions, including wifi control and on/off times, programmable temperatures etc., remote wifi control. Some can even take it a step further, so as to ramp the boiler up and down to predict and suit the demands for heating.
Whilst all useful features they're not really exclusive to wireless stats though. Wired ones can also offer them.
In this case it's not correct to say that there is no wiring involved as it connects to a sender unit which is wired to the boiler.
