My central heating has individual thermostatically controlled valves on each radiator.
I was given to understand that it was necessary to have one radiator without a valve, near to a room thermostat so that the boiler will be turned off when the room(s) reach the required temperature, to avoid very hot water being cycled around just the pipework.
But in the (recently refurbished) flat that I have just moved in to, there are thermostat controls on each rad and no room stat. Is this a correct installation for the current state of the art?
The boiler is hidden away in a cupboard, so it can't be integrated into the that as the cupboard will not be at 'room' temperature. I tend to have my radiators set low as I don't like warm rooms and I wouldn't want to blow up the boiler (not that it's my problem if it's the numpty landlord who's responsible for yet another wrong installation [1])
It's a combi bolier if that makes any difference (an Ariston Combi A)
