hi all,
there is a frost thermostat in my loft and it is most annoying. I believe it is badly positioned.
when it gets cold, as it has been of late, the froststat overrides the normal controls and fires up the heating. I guess this is what should happen to avoid the pipes freezing.
however, due to the stupid positioning of the froststat - away from the lagged pipes it is trying to protect, the loft space itself never heats up and the heating just stays on full, roaring away all the time.
this is most annoying at night as the noise and heating up of the flat often wakes me up.
rather than just moving the current frost thermostat (Honeywell, can't see a model number on it), I thought about getting one that fits on the pipe - seems more logical?
so, Honeywell have one (L641B1004) that I think will suit - how difficult will the wiring be?
have I missed anything?

the Honeywell info (page 3) seems to suggest I need a 2nd frost stat but I can't see why?
thanks in advance
