I have a conventional 'wet' central heating system with radiators in each room fed from a wall mounted boiler in the garage. The boiler also heats the water via an indirect cylinder. There is a thermostat on the hot water tank which controls a motorised valve thus shutting off the supply to the tank when set temp is reached. There is a room thermostat in the hall that controls (I believe) the pump located near to the boiler. The room thermostat has a terrible lag on it and room temperature tends to get too hot and then too cold waiting for the stat to switch. I have put TRV's on the radiators in my lounge/dining room which have improved things somewhat - but in order to keep a hot supply feeding to these radiators I have to keep the room stat high which then overheats the rest of the house! I am now considering putting TRV's on all radiators apart from the bathroom (to allow for at least one 'by-pass'). One question: If after carrying out this work I then leave the room thermostat set high, will this result in the pump running virtually permanently, and if so is this likely to cause any problems?
