Ask your QuestionHi, I've been looking at different TRVs. I'm curious to know whether spending more on a premium TRV is worth it? What are your thoughts on this?
Asked by Simon on 30th May 2022"Absolutely, from experience I have only had problems with the cheaper TRV’S i.e. pins sticking, loose and poor performance. Rarely if at all have there been problems with top end TRV’S."
