As far as I am aware, items should be supported for 7 years, but I know I could buy new fluorescent lamps just a few years ago, and now no replacement tubes are available.

So clearly if the government wants, they it seems do not need to follow the 7 year rule, and clearly any firm which goes to the wall can't continue support.

I am watching the land line at the moment, my broadband router has so much connected to it, and it would be a nightmare to move everything to a new router, I just hope if I need a new router, its name can be made same as old one so my stuff will continue to work.

But the way it shows Geo Cosy being wired, it looks easy to remove.

I fitted Drayton Wiser, and my brother-in-law was saying how he removed his Wiser and has fitted a better system, not asked him what it is, but I thought Wiser was one of the better systems anyway, so what would be better?

But in summer I thought 17ºC was good, nice to walk into a cool house, now I feel 17ºC is too cold, and want the living room at 21ºC. However 16ºC in the bedroom is ample, so how any system can satisfy me I don't know.

£240 for just the wall controller seems a bit OTT. Radiators can be controlled with Honeywell Home Evohome Electronic TRV heads (available separately). So even more cost. To my mind, this is a problem, a system which needs a 13 amp socket to power it, will also need a UPS system, or it will fail with a power cut. I have same problem with Nest Gen 3, except in the hall where wires from the boiler terminate, it needs a USB outlet to power it.

It is pricey but gives total control for each individual room in the house which could result in some real savings on your heating bills.
