we already had regular trv on the rads but they're all knackered and in some rooms the top bit is missing and the boiler had no thermostat just the main temperature control on the boiler itself and the timer didnt work the heating just stayed on constant. we're also on a gas card meter and were using around £60 of gas every ~10 days soley on heating/hot water. part of that is it's a 4-bed house so will be more than we paid in our tiny old 1 bed flat but at any given time we're home about half the house doesnt need heating. as we're likely here a year it was worth doing imo
when we move it'll take me 30 minutes to unwire the wireless unit and another hour to replace all the old trvs and a similar amount of time to fit at the new place. if the new place needs trv fittings then that's something we'd have had to do anyways.
