Hi Guys, hope you can help me.
My old Redfyre solid fuel boiler operated with a pump and 7 day timer, no room thermostat, it heated the water and central heating very well, in fact we never needed the upstairs radiators to be switched on.
Four years ago I had a new Aquaflame Oil boiler fitted and it appears that installer also fitted Danfoss WB 12, Honeywell ST6400C Programmer, and Honeywell V4043H Motorised Zone Valve and Honeywell T6340 Room thermostat.
With this new system, the water heat is ok, but the central heating leaves much to be desired, we now have to have the upstairs radiators on all the time and the heating in the living room, with thermostat set at 20c goes cold for long periods.
I did call the installer back to look at the situation; he thought that the heat coming through the single brick wall, with the boiler and flue pipe close up to the wall on the other side, was causing the problem.
His solution was to place four spacers and a piece of foam behind the T6360 room thermostat, bringing it three eights of an inch away from the wall.
This did not solve the problem, i.e., the room; radiators and pipe work go completely cold for a considerable period of time, i.e. so that our bodies feel cold, before the boiler kicks in again.
I was wondering if I could disconnect the room thermostat and control heating via the radiator thermostats as we used to with the old system.
