I have just been reading the heating controls Wiki page
The reason I am interested is that I am considering purchasing a new boiler, with weather compensation, and will be moving away from my S- plan system given the potential requirement for pump overrun and desire for optimum efficiencies. I am thus looking at Y-plan and W- plan and am viewing the benefits of the W-plan as being somewhat simpler (less complicated valve, no microswitches/electronics to fail) and facilitating independent temperature control for CH and HW operation. The general feeling of the Wiki is putting me off though!
Any comments?
