central heating question (room thermostat)
Discussion
Hi,
A friend is getting a new boiler fitted by a "friend" of her partner's. At a cost of £1700 cash.
Im not to happy about this but never the less its going in. Apparently he is corgi regestered and works for the council
I dont think a room thermostat is being fitted and instead there just fitting thermostat valves to the radiators. Is this allowed? I would have thought this would result in the system running all the time when programmed to do so by the timer?
I rented for a few months whilst waiting for my new house to be built and the rented house had the same kind of system. I was for ever having to get the gas meter card topped up.

Just looked this up - under Part L of Building Regs...
• Boiler Control Interlock:
The boiler and pump must be wired such that
when there is no call for heat from either the
space heating or hot water circuits then the
boiler and pump4 are switched off.This is
achieved by the correct installation of the room
thermostat(s) or programmable room
thermostat(s), hot water cylinder thermostat
and zone valve(s) as appropriate.The use of
TRVs alone does not meet this requirement.
