I have a simple central heating system with a traditional Baxi Solo 2 60RS boiler supplying heat to radiators around the house.
The room thermostat is located in the main bedroom and so calls for heat
only when the temperature in that room requires. When heat is required this
thermostat is wired so that it simply switches the pump on or off.
I would like to have the thermostat located in the lounge (it wasn't placed
there originally because radiators were not initially installed in the
lounge/dining room) and it would be a relatively simple task to just move the
thermostat and retain the wiring as present.
However, I'm thinking that I might wish to leave the existing thermostat
where it is and install a similar additional room thermostat in the living
room and connect it up in the exact manner as the esisting one using the
same connectors in the junction box beside the boiler.
I could see that this would mean that if neither thermostat is calling for heat
the pump would not turn on
Am I right, though, in thinking that if the bedroom thermostat is turned right
down and the lounge one turned up to call for heat that this would turn the
pump on. Similarly, if the bedroom one is turned up to call for heat and the
lounge is turned right down the same would apply and again the pump would
switch on.
What, though if both thermostats are turned right up so that they are both
calling for heat. Would this allow tthe pump to come on until the
temperature has reached the desired temperature(s) in both rooms or would
this, somehow, cause a fuse to blow or cause even worse damage.
