Thermostatic radiator valves
Most homes have a single thermostat on the wall of one room, and the fairly inaccurately determined set-temperature of that room switches off the heating for the whole home when it is exceeded in the area where it is situated. This means that heat is still being pumped out of the radiator in another room before it is reached when the sun or cooking or some other appliance is heating it too.
There are sound reasons for fitting thermostatic valves which individually switch off each radiator to which they are fitted when the desired temperature has been reached in its vicinity. The aspect of the room south facing large windows as an example would be ideal for a thermostatic radiator valve. This room would reach a desired temperature faster than a north facing area and vital fuel can be saved here. UK Bathrooms has a full range of thermostatic valves which are suitable for most central heating systems.
