I got a new central heating system installed two years ago and have had problems with the wireless thermostat/controller pretty much from the start. It's a Salus Digital Thermostat and when I go to turn the heating on manually (using the 'up' key) or set it to timer, the little flame icon comes on but the signal doesn't seem to be reaching the boiler which is in the loft. I have changed batteries several times, moved the unit around the house but it makes no difference. If I do finally get the boiler to fire up, I have problems getting it to go off again - which is worse!
The problem got significantly worse after I installed a load of loft insulation which leads me to the conclusion that the signal is just not strong enough.
My question is - is there anything I can do to boost the signal on my unit or should I be looking at a new one? If a new one, should I go for a wired in system and how much would I be looking to pay an electrician/engineer?
Thanks in advance!
