I hope someone will be able to come up a with a suggested solution. My mother (PWD) has, over the last 6 - 7 years,had a history of fiddling with her heating controls. SHe does one of the following:-
- fiddles with the thermostat and brings temperature down (manic money saving)
[/LIST- Fiddles with the TRV s on the the rads
- Fiddles with the e boiler and manages to switch it off.
As a result we got a new thermostat installed in the last year. It is a thermostatic programmer by Hon___ ell. She should not be able to re-programme as it has a lift up cover we have not let on about.
However, her flat is now 19C when she is used to 23C and it is cold today. Having talked through the controls it is possible she has fiddled and got the thermostat to 26C. She had had it at 32C. End result, as I am 2 hours drive away, suspect she had switched the boiler off.
Now I have had enough. I can organise a transparent cover for the thermostat so she is unable to fiddle, or get it moved out of sight - hopefully - out of mind. end result is likely to be high dugeon at no longer being able to 'control' her own life. I am utterly fed-up as feel in a Ground Hog day loop. What I would be grateful for are suggesitons for stopping her managing to switch the boiler off.
She is in an excellent Extra Assisted Living block. However, the Manager is not a technical whizz - nor should we expect him to be. Unable to get hold of plumber at the mo.
Unhappily, unable to to lock the cupboard door in which the boiler sits as her coats go there. But any suggestion would be good.
Many thanks
