So, the million dollar question, other than feeding my gadget habit and to bring our house into the 21st century i wondered if anyone else has upgraded from a CM927 to an evohome system and your thoughts?
We have a 1950's bungalow, converted by the previous owners to be chalet style with the upstairs being one large space (one radiator either end) and had a bosch boiler installed a few years back controlled by a CM927 for heating and a separate Honeywell unit for hotwater, all the radiators have TRV's. The downstairs is open plan for the living room, dining room and a small study/office, all of which is heated by a small double fin radiator in the corner of the living room, its too small to heat all this space but we cant add more radiators due to the open nature. When it gets super cold we have a log burner. The kitchen which is off the living room has an aga which does help to warm the main living space and overcome small radiator syndrome.
There is someone at home pretty much everydayand the main living room and open space is the main place to be. These rooms are be maintained at a higher temperature while the two downstairs bedrooms and the upstairs bedroom are set lower on the TRVs, so in essence it doesnt seem that by upgrading to evohome we are likely to save a great deal on heating and get the evohome to pay for itself and i would just be feeding my gadget habit and getting finer control on a room by room basis.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/assistance.
