No, our wireless thermostat fails to communicate with the boiler to turn it on and off sometimes. So sometimes it’ll heat the house all day while we’re out and sometimes (more annoyingly) it won’t heat it before I get out of bed in the morning.
Are you relying on it hitting a base temp or something?
Shouldn’t be that much of a problem over winter cause I think I make my heating come on if its anything under 20 degrees. Otherwise, I boost all the way baby.
That switch at the bottom, one is off, one is times and one is on. Just leave all your rads on that you want heat from and take it from there. Push down all the little side switches for what time you want it on if set to timed. They look like a piece of shit but work.
You don’t want the boiler to be heating the radiators all the time but yeah if the boiler is on and you open the valve on the rad, it’ll heat up the rad.
In all seriousness though it is possible to get decentish performance out of central heating even without a separate thermostat, especially in a small to medium home. It just needs some experimenting with how full to open the radiator valves in each room, the times you let the boiler come on and the heating temperature you set at the boiler.
