Thermostats in south-facing rooms

martin18

Hiya, bought a new build from Glenveagh last year and am having problems with balancing the heating in the winter. The two thermostats are in two front, south-facing rooms that get pretty warm even in the middle of winter on a sunny day. Meanwhile the rooms at the rear of the house are very cold. Glenveagh is telling me this is not a problem and it's consistent with building regs etc. so they won't move the thermostats. Are they right? How can it not be a problem that we are freezing in the rest of the house on a cold day?

It is down to the orientation of your house, the builder can't optimise the location for different orientations of house. Fit two wireless thermostats and locate the temperature sensor where ever you want. No major wiring required and they cost about €60 each from the wholesaler.

Or just fit a hive system and have control via an app, boost etc... You would be bypassing the thermostats with the hive anyway.
