Central heating thermostats.
muddyjames:
surely in series if i have my room stat after the original. say O = original and new is N
O at 15C and N is at 20c. N will never be engadged as O will always be off.
if O is at 20 and N is at 20 then I am back to how I am now.
Have I got this right?

Two thermostats would in theory work, but you would need to wire them in series not parallel so that as soon as one goes off, the whole circuit is cut. if you put them in parallel then both rooms would need to be up to temperature - however this isnt gospel as I'm no electrician either....

I'd agree with the above - TRV's (thermostatic rad valves) are by far the best way to go, you can set each rad to a different setting (we have the spare bedroom one turned down way low), and we don't have a main thermostat.
The 2 wall-mounted stats needs a bit of thinking........and my brain aint working too well right now. Can you not just turn the rads down low in the rooms you don't currrently use, then turn them up when peeps come visiting ?

I take it they are water radiators? If so, why don't you fit radiator thermostats? The ones that fit in the inlet water pipe.
Edit.....
Just been beaten to it!!

You need to have the stove at least 18" from any combustable material (doors, studwork walls, etc) and 6" from any other wall IIRC. The smallest of stoves kick out loads of heat though. We have an 11Kw one and it heats the whole 3 bedroom house without any problem at all. We have been known to have to open the windows because it gets too hot!

Erm well there is my first problem!! I only have a diddy house and no spare wall space that big.
I think I will stick to looking into central heating ideas!
