I've just moved into a house for the first time where I don't just have a single heating zone. This house has a central timer unit and 4 room thermostats that control 4 Honeywell V4043H1056 valves beside an currently unidentified Johnson Starley combi boiler (although there is also a hot water tank). The problem with this is that the zones are a bit strange and don't really match how we use the house.
So I was wondering if it would make sense to remove all the old room thermostats and replace them with something like the Honeywell Evohome TRVs to give me per room control and scheduling? I've got 20 radiators with 14 of these currently having TRVs and the rest not.
My other alternative I was considering was just replacing the fixed room thermostats with digital ones so that at least I can time and control the zones a bit better than the fixed temp ones I've got right now and the global scheduling I've got via the single timer unit. This is going to cost a lot less I guess, but given the poor layout of the zones, it's not going to give me as much control.
Any thoughts or alternative ideas I could consider to give me more efficient usage of the system?
Thanks,
Kieran
