Radiators not heating properly

[Alison556]

I've got a Horstmann wireless room thermostat - is it possible that the sensor for room temperature or whatever it is, can go on the blink?

If I have it set at say 20 or 21 degrees, it's showing as heating on, but the radiators are only a bit warm so the house is freezing. If I turn it up to 22 or above, I'm nearly dying of heat exhaustion and the radiators are absolutely roasting.

Has this been a long term issue or is it something that's cropped up recently?

 

[Alison556]

It's been like that for a good while. When it was first installed, having it set at , say 19 degrees, was fine but then it wasn't fine

Where is it positioned?

 

[Alison556]

I've moved it all over the house - hallway, living room and now it's in the bedoom

Tried new batteries?

 

[Alison556]

Yep. It goes through batteries a lot and it flashes when they're low. I put a normal thermometer next to it and it's reading 19 degrees whilst the room stat is reading 21

Personally then it might be broken, I don’t have any dealings with Horstmann. You don’t seem to be having much luck, just read your post on your broken dishwasher.

Honestly, I've had an electrical nightmare these last couple of months - first the timer went on the oven, then the kettle blew up, then hard drive recorder blew, laptop started to play up, had some problems with new one, now resolved, now the dishwasher has gone and it's bleeding freezing in the house, even though they've just done an external insulation programme - I swear it's colder.
