[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1006147, member: 199791"] They're great if you have a central heating system that doesn't date back to the dinosaur age (this house has old manual valves, old non-efficient radiators, a slow leak somewhere that I can't find and air is getting in and cocking up the system pressure), but to be honest, radiators with thermostatic valves where you can set the temperature on a room-by-room basis are much better than a wireless 'stat, as with that one of ours, it tends to cause hotspots & notspots, my bedroom for instance is a hotspot (pipes run from the boiler under the floor, so I basically have crude under-floor heating!!), but the living room is freezing most of the time, with proper thermostatic valves it'd be a lot easier to control the flow to get it where it needs to be the most... :) Once that's done, a simple digital timer thermostat in one room is sufficient as, in theory, all the rooms will have their own local temperature control... :) [/QUOTE]
