Following on from my CH boiler issue...it’s broken, and hot water has been sourced these past few months via the electric immersion heater. 20yo, failed once too often so it’s a new combi heading my way.
A friend recommended a third Gas Safe reg guy to take a look, who duly spent an hour looking at all angles. One man band, very experienced and prepared to drive the 20+miles each way. He suggested I contemplate a Honeywell EvoHome WiFi connected thermostat pack with TRV heads to control each radiator, and, per se, each room individually. Reviews are good. Pricey, but a step up from Nest & Hive. After reading reviews, watching videos and comparing alternatives, I’m taking the plunge.
I’ll never recoup the cost with lower gas bills, but when overseas for extended periods during our winter months I’ll be in control of room temps, and it will be a positive selling point when the time eventually comes.
Quite a big step for a Luddite, but that’s progress. I hope.
