Central heaing programmers (centroller3000)

[DavidMT]

my centroller 3000 has given up the ghost. as they are rather expensive £165 plus delivery. Can anybody reccommend an alternative that will be straight forward to fit. without changing any of the sensors valves or pumps. Thank you

Sorry fella, just been reading up on this and it uses its own "electronic" sensors which must never be wire to mains, therefore you cant change one without the other. Interesting I have never seen this before however Honeywell do a similiar system called "Smartfit" which I am a big fan off, where every sensor and even the 3/2 port valve is run using plug in phone cable. It can even diagnose itself when something goes wrong and it has been right every single time had to repair one. You have a choice ever eat the cost of the centroller or replace all your controls, good luck.

The Centroller is now refurbished byy a firm in Reading and you can buy them direct.

We have a number of customers with them, they were advanced in their time because they use thermistor sensing of room temp and cylinder temperatures.

Whilst there are other intelligent controllers on the market you are being a bit optimistic over £165.

Your cheapest option by far is to replace the unit for a refurbished one (they were offering £20 for the old one).

Assuming cost is your primary motivation.
