We've just moved into a new house and are hoping to upgrade the existing system to Nest. I've read through some previous forum messages with similar system upgrades but thought I'd reach out to get some specific clarifications from experts out there before attempting the job - last resort would be to get someone out to install if it simply is beyond my capability but hoping its not.
The Nest will replace a Drayton LP241 Programmer and a Wiring Centre located in the upstairs Airing Cupboard and a wall mounted Honeywell T6360B Thermostat located downstairs in the entrance hall.
The plan is to replace the Drayton Programmer with the Nest Heat Link and switch the Honeywell Thermostat out for the new Nest one using the existing wiring from the Wiring Centre to provide the 12V power by connecting it to the Heat Link (this is what I have gleamed is the best way forward from other posts!).
I've attached photos of each of the three boxes (outside and inside).
Drayton Programmer:
Wiring Centre:
Honeywell Thermostat:
Your experience, help and advice will be very much appreciated!!
Many thanks.
