Trvs instead of roomstat

[rosiew]

Wondering weather having trvs on all but one radiator for bypass would be ok on new combination boiler system and not using a roomstat would be alright.

 

[dextrous]

Many new boilers have a bypass anyway, and not having a roomstat will mean that the boiler will never turn off when the whole house gets hot

 

[rosiew]

so would it be ok if all rads had trvs

 

[dextrous]

No - there's nothing there to tell the boiler to turn off.

Its obviously a personal thing Bad experience when she was a kid.

 

[rosiew]

i dont mind stats at all but customer doesn't want one and i just wondererd weather it would be ok.

 

[dextrous]

No

 

[Gasman77]

are you installing the new combi for your cust?

 

[ManxPlumber]

Stat is a safety device, if the boiler doesn't know the house is up to temp, it'll run until the programmer tells it to stop

TRV's don't stop the boiler, once your house is up to temp you want the boiler off to save money more than anything

Also efficient use of energy. Part L etc etc etc
Need for boiler interlock etc

We all feel her pain. Counselling, followed by 'closure' and a spot on the Jeremy Kyle show beckon!

yes i am gassman

 

[dextrous]

yes i am gassman

Now in denial! Displacing your fear for stats using the "it's not for me, it's for a customer" line. It fools noone.

Seriously though, if you're a RGI then how come you don't know part L etc

not got your energy efficiency ticket then?
