I am sorting out the 30yr old central heating and would like some help deciding on the two options
It is a 3 storey Victorian house with 4 bedroom and 2 bath
Option 1
Keep all radiators upstairs and link them to a single programmable thermostat with TRVs
UFH downstairs and a single radiator, all running off an Emmeti manifold which allows control of the radiator and UFH separately
Option 2
Keep all radiators upstairs but each room on a separate loop controlled via its own thermostat running off a manifold
(Same as option 1)UFH downstairs and a single radiator, all running off an Emmeti manifold which allows control of the radiator and UFH separately
The second option is more expensive as it requires new plumbing so each room are on a separate loop, thermostats, manifold costs etc. however, this option allows me to add a wet UFH to each of the bathrooms with some degree of control
Is option 2 an overkill?
