DiegoDiego Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm getting a thermostatic valve installed in my radiator. Something to do with the flat failing its energy survey or whatnot.I was ready to settle for one which I could turn on and off without the use of a wrench, but this should counter the whims of my flatmates who like to crank the heat up full as soon as my back is turned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a TRV valve head which can be locked or reduce the range it can be adjusted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the heating dial on the actual boiler, as shown in the photo, which they keep cranking up. Not sure what the landlord's thoughts on installing unnecessary bits and bobs would be. I'll give it a mention though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that's for Turriff away in the Highland League Cup in November, it'll be full long johns and woolly vests by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install another hidden one. Continue to turn the disconnected one down whenever you notice they’ve turned it up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Made it to the 21st of November before taps went oan. The wean started asking for heating, and he's young enough that he flouces about in shorts during the autumn, so I guess it was time. I'll be putting it off when he's out though, in a vain attempt to keep at least one kidney away from the black market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
