But what controls do I ACTUALLY need to have installed with the boiler?!

[Blackspaven]

To the non-idiotic egomaniacs and other less illiterate individuals on here, thanks for the heads up on the weather compensation controllers, I'll have a look into them. Surprisingly, not one person who quoted for the job suggested them, with one even just texting ":nono:" when I asked them they're opinion of them!

It's the way of the world, I guess

Sorry, I did put a star in the word to avoid it being rude, but fyi, the plumber who didn't like the weather compensation devices said it was a four letter word that comes out one's bottom and rhymes with Brit.

That's as may be. It still contravened the forum rules which you are stretching with this last post.

Please refrain from doing so.

Will do chief. Just giving a direct quote so hard to do other than what he said, not my own personal opinion. But noted.

Us?? Boys club all of a sudden?

very special club, you won't ever see a sole trader going on strike, we value our customers to much. Always ready for work.

Us?? Boys club all of a sudden?

you came here asking advice, then you start insulting the community here, you are behaving no better than any other internet troll .. so yes 'us', the community.

Not allowed to strike even if you wanted to.

Whoa, back up sunshine, who was it who started off all aggressive?? Me?? No!! If you can't take it, don't give it!

Or are you saying part of the allowance of being gas safe is being allowed to talk to people like a jeremy hunt?! Nice attitude!

OP. You either want advice or you don't.

I believe that you've been advised several times on this thread what controls you need as a bare minimum and what additional controls you can add to achieve the optimum performance from your boiler. Your boiler, you can have what you want. The question you really need to be asking yourself is whether you want to save a quick buck now or reduce your fuel bills over the life of the boiler.

But please don't be insulting us because we won't go into technical specifics. You don't need to know them. We do. All you need is a trust relationship with the installer. Which you clearly don't have.

I think Mr Hunt has it dead right to be honest, folks who after 10 years can pull in £70k a year should earn it.

If money is your goal, then more power to you. Doesn't drive all of us.

I'm merely responding to people attacking me for no reason, but this is getting more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Again, I didn't start any of this at all so I presume those in did will have a word page to them, surely in the name of equality and balance, yes?

Yes, got my answer already, but then it altered to a chat about weather compensating controllers, hence my thanks to those who brought them to my attention. Everything else was NOT of my construction!

I think a mod should close this thread, it's gotten childish!

After 41 posts on something quite simple I agree.

 

[Blackspaven]

Absolutely! To be honest, I got my answer by about post 20 at the most but then it naturally swerved into talking about weather compensating units before taking a harsh left into abuse the op country!

EDIT: don't worry, I've just learnt about the boiler not working properly when you have a thermostat and every rad with a TRV, which was explained to me at the time but they just didn't expain it as boiler interlock, that's all. Strange, didn't think it would have been that hard to explain. Who knew?!

Your understanding of boiler interlock is still incorrect. It's true that you should not have a TRV in the same room as the room stat, but boiler interlock simply means any form of time & temperature control which positively shuts off the boiler when there is no demand for heat. So just having TRVs won't be compliant, but it's nothing to do with whether or not there's a TRV in the same room as the stat...

Sorry, was trying to simplify my understanding cos typing on my phone is a pita!!
