Hi All,
I have just moved into a large house with rooms over 3 floors. It has two combi boilers, one for the lower ground and upper ground floor, and one for the 1st floor. These were just controlled with timers but this afternoon I installed the Hive I had from my last house and a second multizone unit for the second boiler. All is working well except for an unconnected leak on the boiler, grr. The Hives are a temporary measure to give me some basic control on temperature and it has only cost me £80 for the second unit.
I want to plan for the future and would really appreciate your help! I will be looking to install an unvented hot water tank and single boiler to replace the existing boiler and slowly working through the house to refurbish it. Currently each radiator has a TRV and there is no underfloor heating.
I would like to install Evohome when funds allow to give me control over each zone (many of the rooms won't often be lived in). I am fairly comfortable with how this works with respect to hot water and general central heating with radiators. However, I would also like to install (probably wet) underfloor heating into some of the bathrooms. I guess this would normally mean running a new feed from the boiler hot water outlet with a zone valve to control the underfloor heating to have it on when desired. However, is it possible to use the Evohome to achieve this by using a feed closer to the rooms (e.g. from the towel rails which are 15 mm)? If so, I guess I could then install the UFH manifold and pump local to the bathrooms and have this activate through the Evohome and avoid having to run new individual feeds. Am I going completely down the wrong route? Please guide me!
Sorry if the above is full of typos, it has been a long few days moving in!
Thanks,
Paul
