Hi guys
First post so bear with me please. I'm seeking advice regarding the central heating in a home I have just bought, it's a first home and this is my first experience of heating systems. The house is in a rural area and uses a Worcester oil fired boiler, so far from what I can see with my uneducated eye is that the system consists of the boiler, a pump, room stat, water cylinder and 2 header tanks above. There doesn't appear to be any valves in the system and there is no stat on the cylinder. The boiler and pump are housed outside in an outbuilding and there is just one power supply going from the house to the outbuilding which supplies the pump and boiler. I'm assuming as there's no valves anywhere that the heating and water will always work together? There are thermostatic valves on each radiator except bathroom which i take it can achieve the same effect as having only hot water on when they are turned right down.
Basically the question is, can someone confirm what I have said above is correct based on the info I've supplied, and if I were to install something like the Hive (purely for the option to switch on remotely) would I be able to disconnect the existing room stat and just wire the supply currently going to the outbuilding into the hive receiver?
Thanks in advance for any response, and any suggestions or things you'd like me to check that I may have missed please fire them at me.
Cheers, Tom
