Do i need a thermostat upgrade?

Best Answer

"If the thermostat is in the room with the burner then the heat from the burner will cause the heating to go off due to the rise in air temp, a wireless stat would be the easiest solution."

"Move the thermostat to the hallway or turn it up. You could change to a wireless one if the boiler is compatible."

"Hi,
You need to relocate the thermostat to a suitable position ie the hall with a radiator that has 2 lockshield valves. This would solve your problem."

"You will need to replace it with a wireless thermostat or move your old one into a different room."

"We often use Drayton RF room stats, easy to install and half the price of ones made by boiler manfactures"

"The solution would be to move your thermostat to another room. What's happening is the log fire is heating up the room your thermostat is in and satisfying the heating. Either a new wireless thermostat or moving the current thermostat should solve your issue :)"

"If the thermostat is in the same room as the log burner, the thermostat will detect a heat rise to its satisfied temperature and shut off. If you were to install a wireless thermostat and put it in a different room away from the log burner, the boiler will stay lit and heat the rest of your home.

"Hi. Either move your current thermostat to a different room so that it's not getting the heat of your log fire or if you wanted you could replace it with a wireless thermostat.
Hope that helps."

"It is detecting heat from the log fire therefore turning the heating off because it thinks it's reached temperature. Ideal thing to do is re-position the thermostat."

"Get an RF stat. A wireless (radio frequency) room stat that can be taken out of the room with the log burner so the heating will run. Look at Nest they’re great"

"The heat from the log fire will bring the room up to temperature causing the stat to turn off. Either this will need moving to another room or you can have a wireless stat which you can move around."
