Adding a timer to a Biasi boiler

[DrBrodington]

Hello there,

A few years ago we had central heating installed on a budget.

We have a combi boiler (Biasi M90E 28S) at the moment it does not have an external control and I'd like to fit one so I don't have to go down into the cellar to turn the heating on.

I have downloaded the service and installation manuals and from what I can gather all I need to do is attach an external control to the "External Controls Terminal Block".

I have a few questions:
Is there any type of control I need or will any of them from B&Q do the job?
Do I need to disconnect the boiler from mains?
Is it really as simple as it looks?

Thanks,

Neil

any single channel clock will do the job

yes

if you have an idea of what you are doing yes

Do you just want to control just the time or do you want to control temperature as well (assuming you do not have a wall thermostat)?
