230v room thermostat or 24v ?

[DonnyE]

My boiler specifies 24v for the room thermostat. Do I have to use a 24v specific thermostat or can I use a 230v one? I have seen some specs for the stats as having a supply voltage of 24v-230v. Thanks.

you need a voltage free contact thermostat most are these days, some are battery powered , some are mains powered, what boiler do you have and what thermostats are you looking at? do not put 240v into a 24v boiler or you will make a very expensive mistake

It's quite an old boiler, a Ravenheat. I was looking at a simple wired mechanical one like the Honeywell T6360. I think the T6360B is the 24v rated one.

No if that is your preferance use the DT200

To be honest you would be better with any battery powered room thermostat if you are going to change it yourself

I'll have a look at that, thanks.
