[QUOTE="Manator, post: 189641, member: 9561"] For a first post I would say it is a great post, yes there is a lot of reading, but the question is detailed and leaves us with almost all the information to offer any help. From your name, and the grant scheme acceptance I take it you are of pensionable age? If so there is free advise given via organisations like age concern amongs others, always look for approved government schemes and avoid those who are out to make a quick buck. All newly installed heating systems have tvr controls, but also have a room stat, in fact British gas insist on this if they fit any heating system. Your heating engineer is probably right, your system whilst at the moment is only giving you 70% efficeincy,it could give you the stated 80% for a small cost ( room stat). A new system boiler would cost a lot of money and take years to pay for itself, before giving you the savings you need. I can only give advise on anything electrical, and your question is far above my own capabilities to give an answer that would satisfy your request. Welcome to the forum and have a good search around for free information, avoid any salesmen who want to take your cash. [/QUOTE]
