I installed my heating system about 5 years ago - all in copper pipe. The house is old and of stone construction with very thick walls and a wooden floor in most of the downstairs. The radiators are 'Acova' mostly - the ones which look like the old cast iron ones and the boiler is a gas combi condenser made by Ravenheat (I know - not the best but most of the budget went on the rads). The guy who comissioned and signed off for me said I had to have a room stat so put one in my study at the back of the house. All the rads have basic valves. We have quite expensive gas bills and wondered:
1 would I make significant savings by fitting TRVs to most of the rads
2 How likely is it that they would be a straight swap?
3 would it be best to disconnect the room stat after fitting them?
I was thinking something like these
Any comments or advice would be very welcome
