Replacing a mechanical Sunvic room thermostat

[kizzsmyth]

Hi folks... after some advice if you please.

I would like to replace the crappy old Sunvic TLX 2259 room thermostat in my living room. It's currently placed in a recess under the stairs which isn't the most effective place to gauge the average temperature in the house.

What I would like to do is replace it with a wireless unit. The main reason for this is to help me keep control of the temperature in our impending arrivals nursery (or whatever room he/she will be in for an extended period of time)

I'm not too fussed about a solution with programmable cycles as this is already taken care of by the unit in the airing cupboard controlling the HW & CH cycles.

Does anyone have a recommendation for me? Many thanks

To control the temperature in a particular room (eg, the nursery you mention) you need to have a thermostatic valve fitted on the radiator in that room. A room thermostat (wireless or otherwise) is used to control the operation of the heating of all the house, based on the temperature of the room the thermostat is located in. Bedrooms are usually required to be a little cooler than a living room, for example, so the room thermostat should be in a living room or hallway where there is a radiator that DOESN'T have a thermostatic valve. Then each bedroom rad has its own thermostatic valve which allows those room's temperatures to be regulated, usually a little lower. Not good to make a baby's room too hot.
