Dear All,
First post from a non technical person, in fact, second post as I managed somehow to lose the first !
We live in new build ie 2015 4 bed detached house.
The issue we have is about the central heating system and in particular the arrangements on the first floor.
At ground floor there is a Danfoss TP5000 thermostat controller in the hall and we can just about understand that.
At first floor, that is to say located in the en suite bedroom we occupy is the controller is a Danfoss TP 9000 plus a Danfoss TS 2 sensor. This is on the wall next to the cupboard in which the hot water cylinder is located.
The radiator in that bedroom is of the fixed type ie it does not have a thermostatic control.
We just think that both the TP 9000 and TS 2 are located in the wrong place and they should be actually on the first floor hallway (but obviously away from the fixed radiator there). We also think that the en suite radiator should be a thermostatically controlled one under those circumstances. Also that the kit is wrong because with 'us' in the room plus a telly, bedside light etc the temperature is going to rise a little and affect the temperature controller.
The TS 2 fitting instructions say do not situate in direct sunlight, the bedroom is south facing thus, unless I am going to have to keep the curtains pulled all the time, we are going to get afternoon sun.
The issue is that although the TP 9000 shows the alleged actual temperature, last night it showed 20.5 C and it always feels ruddy cold. Also last night, although the actual temp in the room was showing at 18 C when we came in we had set the programmer temp for 19.5 C but the red 'on' light showing the heating working was not on.....I assure you we have set things up on auto to cover both heating and water.
The response from the builders predictably is about just following what was on the plans but as they managed to wire things up so that the upper control worked the lower one and vice versa, I welcome having a discussion on this forum of experts about the location of the TP9000 and TS 2.
Our extent of plumbing knowledge is limited to getting water from the tap but why on earth these things have to be so ruddy complicated nowadays is beyond us, even though the Danfoss leaflet gives it a crystal mark for plain English trying to understand what, for our purposes are so many necessary additional functions, has become a bit frustrating.
Apologies if any of this seems daft to you knowledgeable types !
