Hi,
I have recently moved into a house. There is an existing heating and hot water system with only very basic controls. I would like to have the option to have hot water without heating, a decent controller and different room temperatures at different times of day.
I have a wall mounted boiler in the kitchen. There is a basic mechanical time clock here supporting on/off twice a day. In the hall is a thermostat. Upstairs next the hot water tank has a thermostat which does not appear to make any difference. Next to the tank is a pump and a motorised valve.
The only way I can get hot water without heating is to turn down the thermostat in the hall. I am not sure if the pump runs when only how water is requested, any easy way to check?
Anyway, I am after a new programmer which will allow me to have a greater degree of control over the hot water and heating. I am aware that I cannot easily have heating without hot water. I also want to replace both thermostats as they are calibrated in Fahrenheit only (I only understand Celsius).
I have looked at a wireless controller with integrated thermostat from Honeywell (CM67-RF-NG). It looks to be a great unit, but as far as I can see there is no option to control the hot water at all. I am after some advice as to how to what type of unit would be best for me.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
