I had a new Glow Worm boiler fitted in June. There were problems the installer could not fix and GW sent out a fitter to deal with it. Part of his solution was to remove the thermostat on the hall radiator. The system now seems ok but the reason for removing the thermostat was not explained.
According to the installer, "He would have done this to provide a permanently open radiator flow. It's normal practice."
Before I get back to the installer for further explanation, is this in fact normal? It seems wasteful as the radiator is belting out heat during full scheduled hours and, being about 20 feet from the wall thermostat, is unlikely to be controlled by it. And there are those gas price rises on the way...
