I have a Worcester Combi boiler, with theremostatic valves on each radiator throughout the house. However, there is no central thermostat control, thus to make a change means having to go around and alter each radiator individually. I am told that it would now be difficult to wire one from present boiler position to the hallway, and that a remote version would be a better option. Does anyone know anything about these, how effective they are etc? Can anyone recommend one? Thank you in advance.Central Heating Room Thermostat?A simple job to install a wireless thermostat, but MUCH better to use a wireless programmable thermostat, with optimising. This will calculate the building heat loss and adjust on/off times for max economy throughout each day. Look at Honeywell CM900 wireless or Danfoss RT52 RF

Despite popular belief, it IS much better to use a room stat even if you have thermostatic radiator valves, as you can then set a low limit for the system, as you have found out.Central Heating Room Thermostat?remotes work but you have to make sure of the range on it sometimes the difficult wiring would be a better option depending on distance and material
honeywell makes a good remote thremostat
you should be able to HAVE them hooked up central; it would be similar to a zone control systemCentral Heating Room Thermostat?it is actually ideal to be able to control each room instead of heating the whole house when you dont use the whole house at the same time. I am told there is no way to hook them up. to a central switch.Central Heating Room Thermostat?Worcester make their own wireless programmable room t/stats,theirs would be the easiest to install.Very effective.Central Heating Room Thermostat?Worcester do a mechanical wireless programmable roomsat, you can control temperature, on/off times of heating and even set the temperature depending what time it is. all of the ones which i have seen have worked from anywhere in the house. HOWEVER bear in mind if you pt one in a room with a radiator in the trv must be removed to comply with part L. Best place is on the upstairs landing...alot of people dont have radiators there. Very effective, thet use standard aa batteries
