Rather than try and desribe the room I have linked to a plan (not too scale) of the rooms concerned, location of radiators and thermostat.
The question is should I locate the thermo elsewhere as it sits almost above one of the radiators, I could probably locate it in the hallway quite easily as its just the other side of the wall. All radiators have TRVs.
Other makes of radio thermostats are available. Is the current 'stat an simple bi-metal one or an electronic one?
The position of the current one doesn't look ideal. What happens of you turn that radiator off? Is the lounge at a more consistent temperature compared to before?
Its an electronic one but not wireless. I am still trying to suss out that particular rad as I never sit in the lounge as my wife watches TV in there and I dont do TV, she complains on occasion the room is cold which focussed my attention on the stat. I will adjust it over the next couple of days and see if it makes a difference. The stat also has the timer built in so not sure if I get a wireless one how all this would fit together but I can cross that bridge when necessary, in the meantime I shall just try and improve with what I have.
draughts, in the place you use the most (living room?), not close to radiators/other heat sources, around 1200mm from the floor. With a tamperproof setting.
Harry - you are laying down the law again and making yourself look silly.
If you had said "In my experience blah-de-blah", then fine, but my experience in possibly a different house layout to yours, is quite the opposite in terms of the where the controller is. And that's the point that one of the posters is making about having a wireless one - you need to experiment to see which is the best place for your house.
In my case I did have the thermostat in the living room and because its temperature is influenced by solar gain, a wood burning stove if the sitting room door is open, people and the cooker, the thermostat went off too early for the rest of the house.
I moved the thermostat to a cool back corridor, rebalanced everything, put TRV's on the living room radiators, and the system is near enough perfect.
That's my experience - Oh and it's 2m above the floor !
