Hello everyone. Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year.
Right I’ve been reading a lot of posts on here about Evohome and have subsequently bought a pack with Evohome controller and 12 TRVs.
I’m moving into a new build on Friday where the system will be installed. The boiler is a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Ri (not entirely sure on model number) and has a Range Tribune XE unvented hot water cylinder in the upstairs airing cupboard. It appears that the system is S Plan Plus - 2 CH zones (1 upstairs, 1 downstairs) and a HW zone. These are controlled by Danfoss controllers, again 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. There is a temperature thermostat in the hallway. All rads have TRVs apart from the hallway rad.
As I say I’ve read a lot of information and have been trying to summarise it for my install. I’ve made the following points:
1. Remove/disconnect the Danfoss control panels upstairs and downstairs. Disconnect thermostat in hallway.
2. Fit BD91 in place of the existing control panel as it is next to boiler.
3. Electrically isolate and manually open both CH zone valves.
4. Install HR92 TRVs to all radiators in house (apart from hallway as does not have a TRV and can use it as the bypass).
5. Setup Evohome zones and other general installation stuff.
Does this sound about right? I’m a little confused as to how to operate the HW or will I need to purchase the Evohome HW kit straight away. I was hoping I could just run it without the HW kit for a couple of months.
It’s a learning curve for sure but I’m confident and fairly competent at installing stuff. Just want to make sure it’s done correctly and right first time.
Best Regards,
Harvey
