Hi all
I'm wanting to move my thermostat. Took the cover off and I see it's just a normal wiring setup (pic attached), so presumably doesn't need anything particularly complex? As a side question, the unit itself seems to have batteries in it too - is this just a backup in case the leccy is down?
I'm wanting to move it to the opposite wall. There's a light switch there currently.
Would it be a case of cutting a hole in the dry wall, then running more wiring from the wiring of the light switch underneath it (through block connector type things?), then just blanking off the wires in the old location?
Am I over simplifying? For clarity I've only ever done light fixtures and fittings, replaced a couple of sockets and plugs etc.
Should I get a spark in to do it so I don't burn my house down or kill myself? Just doesn't look complicated so thought I'd ask.
Cheers
Matt
