ANYTHING mechanical will supper strain on joints from thermal cycling, up to and including integrated circuits.
Remember the boiler itself will lose a lot of heat to the room its in.

We dont know what the op's pipe layout is, it could be cheap or could be impractical.

We dont know the op's plumbing layout. It may be as simple as adding valves, or it may need added pipework.
One sole existing zone can be subdivided after the event.
Exchanger bulk and modulation both affect efficiency.

Just a random thought.... If there's gas available on site, and an external wall, why not install a small balanced flue gas heater in the room you want to heat?
I've seen caravan sized ones of about three kilowatts that can be thermostatically controlled and re-jetted for natural gas.

No prices, though. You could probably buy several years electricity to heat the OP's room for what it costs.

Give me an example of how.
You could cut off one room quite easily. But cutting off the rest of the house while leaving on that room is the tricky thing. Think about it.

Indeed, the cost is about £3500!

I've got a wall-mounted electric heater (modern, glass fronted, pebbles) in the lounge with a living-flame effect. It's odd how the flames make me feel warmer even though the heater itself isn't switched on.
A lot of it is psychological, I think.

how to add valves without adding pipework? That cant be what you mean.
Where do you see difficulty? Pipework layout or control system? Neither are mentally challenging to make work. Whether more pipe is needed depends on existing pipework layout.
