The previous owners of my cold Victorian terraced house put the thermostat at the top of the stairs depsite any hot air generated from the heater in the ground-floor hallway going pass the said thermostat, up into the attic and out through the roof. Thus the boiler is always being called on the generate more heat! Due to its design I cannot put a door on the stairs that lead to the attic so feel that moving the thermostat to the front room maybe an option as at least the boiler will cut out when the right temperature is reached in a room that I can seal by shutting doors.
I have read of portable thermostats - how much is a decent one and would it be easy to remove the current one from its daft position at the top of the stairs?
