I'll one was 1985, 3 bed semi, large double rooms, has had 8 rads.
the new one is a 4 bed detached, 4 double rooms.
The old house, it had an electric shower, it's now off the tank.
uksparks,
I would seriously avoid fitting unnecessary fancy thermostats, based on the information you have given us so far.
There are so many different factors when trying to compare the cost of services between these two dwellings.
You never mentioned if the new dwelling had any other additional gas appliances such as oven, hob gas fire..
there are nearly twice the number of rads to heat, and based on this no doubt a much larger cubic area.
Don't go wasting your money by jumping the gun mate. That's my advice
If you are serious about trying to reduce your gas bill then you need to spend time looking at what is running the cost up. Swapping your existing boiler for a new modern condensing one will reduce running cost would be a better solution than exchanging the trv's (in my view). But you would have to decide if throwing out what might be a good working boiler for a modern replacement would be more cost effective in the long run.
