Best Boiler Plus Compliant controls For A landlord That Doesn't Want To spend Any money?

[ShaunCorbs]

What if, hypothetically, you had a zone valve and stat for each room? Personally, I find TRVs are crap in many ways. I do fit them as a cheap and cheerful upgrade on manual valves, but I would rarely consider them to be the ideal solution.

You could do that but would be more expensive than evo home

Surely the bit about combis only relates to the 92% erp?

Not entirely sure, logic4training states in that link all boilers but the HHIC flow diagram says not.

You can fit a neomitis room smart stat cheap as chips.
One of the vokera boilers has a small link in it aparently that if you disconnect becomes boiler plus complient.
As for build regs my mate does that for a living and has he said to me.
To busy to bother with that ' she it '!!!

All new boilers need to have 92% erp on their space heating output.

IE - heat only and system need to be 92% erp, Combi needs to be 92% erp on central heating only.

You won’t be able to buy a boiler with less than this, (unless very old stock?!) so this part is done for you. The flow chart just refers to controls.

Combi boilers are invariably hugely over sized on their central heating output for the property they are installed in, 24 - 30kw, which could rightfully be installed in a flat! So load comp alone makes sense

And quite a lot have the flue recovery system built in !

I think what they haven't quite thought through with this is these controls only help if they're used properly. Most of my work is for landlords in East London and i can guarantee no tenant will even begin to understand how these are supposed to work, the vas majority just turn the heating on and off with the roomstat like a switch.
