We bought a new build a few years ago which I think at the time regulation said heating must be in 2 zones which I believe is no longer the case. It’s a small property 3 bed semi and has a very open plan design so it really didn’t need it. On top of that the stat in the mater bedroom upstairs also controls the down stairs kitchen, hall and bathroom. The kitchen is off the lounge and again open so when heat rises and switches off the room stat kitchen is freezing .... anyway there’s 2 2 way valves in the cupboard upstairs and combi boiler is down in the kitchen. Is it easy enough to just have the 1 stat which is centrally located on the bottom of our stairs control both zone valves to essentially make the system work as a single zone?
