Hive - adding extra zone

lawred2 · 2020-11-02 08:02:51

Hi, Anyone familiar with what's involved? Trying to gauge cost in my head.. Currently dual zone with hot water. Want to split upstairs into two zones as the radiator in the loft comes on with the first floor and vice versa.. Want the loft to have its own zone!

Most likely the cheapest way would be to put smart valves on those rads.

Creating a separate zone will depend on the pipe work and also how accessible it is.

Please follow site and charter rules. "Resistance is futile"

I'd need 4 TRVs I think... One for each rad in a bedroom.. Wouldn't be too fussed about the hall or bathrooms

The pipework up to the attic is easily accessible in the hot press
