First, a confession....I am an estimator at a plumbing contractors so should have known better!! (let the abuse begin )
A couple of years ago I had our heating system changed as part of a major refurb at home and zoned upstairs and down stairs separately. Each zone is controlled by a Honeywell CM907 PRT one located in the hall and the other in the main bedroom so as not to be affected by the heat from downstairs
What I failed to appreciate was that, as the bedroom would be at a lower temperature than the bathroom, when the PRT in the bedroom is satisfied and the fully tiled bathroom is a bit on the nippy side for the missus!
What I'm wondering is if there is a work around where I can fool the bedroom PRT into staying on to get some heat into the bathroom. The upstairs circuit isn't on for many hours in the day but because the walls have been insulated internally, the bedroom doesn't get overly cold
As the bedroom rad has manual valves, I was considering upping the PRT temperature setting and restricting the flow through the bedroom radiator so it takes longer to reach set temperature, giving the radiator in the bathroom more "on" time - would this be feasible?
Any suggestions welcome, particularly if it doesn't involve relocating things as all the work is finished!!
Edit: Forgot to mention it's a WB weather compensated system as well
