I have a traditional gravity fed central heating system with boiler in garage and the usual programmable timer in the utility room plus a simple room thermostat in the hall way. The timer has the standard 2 'heating on off' settings for morning and evening use.
Now - given the freezing cold winter nights i'd like to have the flexibility of having the heating come on during the night (to 10-15 degrees maybe) and then go back to normal 25 in the morning.
My brother has a combi boiler with a clever honeywell programmable thermostat that allows him to specify what temperature he wants the room to be at during day/night and and the heating comes on and off accordingly. So my question is can i replace my hallway thermostat with a clever programmable one or do i need to be changing my utility room timer box?
Thanks,
