I had to set the internal timer to override. Was thinking about the voltless contacts in the wrong way, silly me. Now sorted :)

Hi I recently got a Hortsmann HRFS1 thermostat to control my Biasi boiler. The Hortsmann is setup ok and appears to be switching on and off as desired. 2 core running to boiler from OM and NO contacts of the thermostat to the boiler. According to the manual you connect to connector 1 and 3...

Cheers again! Going to give the HRFS1 a bash, cheap enough off of eBay :)

Thanks :) I was going along the lines of using a thermostat as it might save money in the long term.....never had one before, is it a worthwhile extra to have for this reason or should I just stick to the plain controller? Cheers

Shower is against far away wall.

This is all the time - worse if room has been closed. Even with window open still there but hangs mid room. Going to lift a floorboard or two tonight. Would there be drainage/vent pipes in the loft (there is a bathroom next door)

Och ya wee numpty
