should i have a room thermostat with my combi boiler.

[baileys]

As far as I am aware it is regulation and my mate had a gas safe inspection last week on a system I forget the details but was not a complete new system he has had a letter from gas safe stating a thermostat has to be fitted ?
I will find out why ?

Ok thanks.

Of course it will be more efficient as you are not cycling the boiler and heating up pipework when no rads are calling for heat !

Thats what i though when i read about it, it makes sense to me but he didnt agree.

Have you had different people fitting the boiler and the radiators?
What does the quote say?

Have you checked if he`s even GSR?

The building regulations are Part L and I think table 2 ?
You can find it online I am sure ? ish !

your boiler requires interlock between its controls to operate efficiently and meet the building regulations. the cost of a room stat will be saved on your bill within one year, two at most. £15 for a stat, £5-£10 for cable and consumables, an extra hour or so in labour time if hes competent to fit one.

Hi baileys ... As far as I am aware you are in the right here and the installer is contravening building regulations (Part L) and will lie when filling in the 'Benchmark' in your boiler installation instructions'. If they insist that they do not fit one then ask if they are registering the installation.​YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT REGISTERED! If so insist that they register your details and contact phone number....!

yes...the plumber wanted to do the boiler himself but i wouldnt let him as he is not a GSE. originally he told me he has a GSE that came in after he had done the wet work.

Im getting confused here. The GSE came and connected me and filled in the necessary forms and said he would send them off himself.
