Hi All,
An easy question for you knowledgeable people!!
We have a elderly but functional combi boiler (in the kitchen) with a mechanical thermostat in the hallway.
The problem I have is that the range from where the thermostat switches on the heating to where it switches off the boiler is enormous. For example, we either freeze or we get roasted! Keeping a steady temperature in the house is near impossible.
I appreciate that the range of the thermostat shouldn=92t be too narrow.
At the moment the thermostat is used as more of an on off switch.
First Question: Is it possible that the mechanical thermostat is faulty?
Second question: Would replacing this thermostat with a wireless digital thermostat improve the situation? There is of course the added advantage of being able to move the thermostat around the house at our convenience.
Third question: Can it be done? Is it easily DIY able. I=92m fairly adept at these sorts of things but this is not an area I=92ve looked at before.
Boiler: Ferroli Modena 102 Thermostat: SunVic TLX
Thanks.
