Heating control system /switch

arrianalexander

Sorry for my ignorance in advance 

We have a oil burner which heats the house (rads and water) using a pressurized system.

We had two zones one upstairs and one down stairs .

The heating control switch we have currently is the grasslin towerchron qe2 . Which heats the rads and water separately but when you have it timed for heating it will heat the water.

One of the rads upstairs never heated correctly . When we got the bathroom renovated the plumber with them said if he removed the valves and created one zone it would solve the problem. He did and it did solve the problem, all the rads heated fully.

 Problem now is the switch doesn't work, once the burner fires , whether the switch is timed or not it stays on constant .

So we want to get a new smart system with zones for each radiator . 

Question is which system should we get / do we need pick back in the valves or will the ones on each rad do the job 

Thanks in advance

Well if the plumber removed the zone valves to make one zone, that would explain why the time switch is no longer able to call the hot water separately.

I don’t quite understand how doing so solved an issue with a radiator which wasn’t heating? But in any case I think you may be losing more than you gained with the lack of controls.

New controls shouldn’t be a problem. Are you thinking something like the TADO system fitted to existing TRV’s? A good heating contractor should be able to get to the bottom of what is going on.

Ya finding someone is proving harder than we thought

From not answering our calls , to answering to say they'll do and then disappearing

So said if I could have as much info and things ready for them someone might actually do it
