Ask your QuestionI currently have a Honeywell programmable thermostat which is great. However, when I light my log fire it turns all the heating off so that the rest of the house is cold. Would the solution be to change to a wireless thermostat and if so which one?

"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."

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."
Answered on 22nd Jan 2020 - Member since Nov 2019 - report"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 :)"
Answered on 3rd Feb 2020 - Member since May 2019 - report"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.
