If you house has large variances in temperature between the rooms it sounds that you need thermostats fitted to each radiator. Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRV’s) can be fitted to your radiators and allow you to individually set the temperature for each room. This will save you money in the long run as rooms which are too hot are expensive to run, you have paid for the gas to heat them.

To obtain a fixed price for this work, or to learn of the cost of installing a RF room thermostat please telephone npower or a local installer

It was connected up to the old thermostat point in the downstairs lobby. The face of the old thermostat being changed to a new identical thermostat.

I work and relax upstairs most of the time. It gets far too hot. I know I can turn the rads down but sometimes I need instant heat quickly. I dont like fiddling with rads throughout the day/night.

In a well insulated semi the upstairs stores heat and is a completely different temperature to the downstairs. Especially where the thermostat is situated. The heating is reluctant to switch itself off via this thermostat as its always cool there. Its also draughty despite new RIBA approved front external door. I contacted the installers and they said ..that I should get a decent letter box and therefore the thermostat problem was not their fault. I did get an expensive letter box and..yes..it
is better but the problem remains.

I work the heating now by running up and down the stairs to switch the heating on and off by the thermostat as its the best way to control it. I am 63 and wont be able to do this with much gusto soon.

Do I have any re-call with the installer?

or..Does this boiler have a wireless remote plug-in area
inside the boiler which would allow a remote to be sited upstairs.?

If a wireless remote is available, is it a huge expensive job changing over from the old hall stat. to one upstairs?

Or ..do you have any other advise on how I can get this system running more easily?

Many thanks.

The Baxi Duotec has the internal circuitry already installed to plug in an optional wireless receiver, so that it can receive temperature information from a separate wireless room thermostat.

Should the above boiler new have a separate room thermostat?
I am being told that it is internal to the boiler.
I cannot understand how it will respond to temperatures
throughout the 3 storey house..

Can you confirm that the above boiler does NOT need a
separate room themostat and that it is contained within the actual boiler.

Many thanks..C.B.

2. A system boiler would be the perfect choice for a straight replacement.

2. Gas boilers can be fitted in a bathroom that is upstairs. The boiler can be either vertically flued or if the bathroom contains an external wall, it can flue that way

3. A small radiator can be fitted in a kitchen to a cupboard as long as the manufacturers of the cupboard state that the cupboard wall can withhold the weight of the specific radiator
