    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Wouldn't it need a double pole fused switch in the airing cupboard with 3 amp fuse though? Where the programmer is now would have to become a junction box to connect the supply from the fused switch next to it to the one in the airing cupboard which would mean there would be two fuses in that...

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Maybe I am looking at this all wrong. Ultimately if I get everything relocated to the airing cupboard where the wiring centre is it just becomes an issue of how to get a live, neutral and earth to the programmer or it's replacement in the airing cupboard. Only problem then is we lose the easy...

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Unfortunately not. Because the switched fuse is next to the programmer they didn't bother putting a twin and earth into the wiring centre as well as the triple and earth. That one extra cable to carry live, neutral and earth would mean there would technically be enough wires even if one of...

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Hi Pete, yeah I spent 30 mins or more trying to work out what the wires in their did. As I said the builders need shooting, I have never needed to look in there before. At some point I think a really good tidying up inside that box would not hurt but not now as we head into winter... One...

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Unfortunately the programmer is in the kitchen, just about as far away from the wiring centre, the pump and the valve is it is possible to be in this house. The pump and the valve are in the airing cupboard with the hot water cylinder and the wiring centre is in the wall and will take quite a...

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Well that gives me hope Pete, thanks. I guess the thing that may stop me is if the number of wires going from the controller to the wiring box by the motorised 3 way valve then? If memory serves I think there are only 3 wires and it may need 4? Time to do some investigating.

    Controlling hot water and heating separately

    Hi, looking for some information. I have what is probably a fairly standard set-up for central heating and gravity fed hot water with what I think is a Y-Plan design. What I want to know is if it is possible to control the hot water and heating separately? At the moment if we turn the heating...
