I'm considering adding the Drayton wiser system to replace the typical programmer with manual thermostat \ trv set up but someone mentioned on a different post that oil boilers tend to pull more current than gas boilers and cited this as a reason for premature failure of a programmer.
The switching capacity of the hub is 2 amps. The fuse protecting boiler, valves and pump is 5 amps.
My question is what does the hub or programmer actually switch? Is it just power to a valve which in turn switches the rest of does it see the full load current of the system.
It's a boulter camray 5 with Ch pump and 2 motorised valves. I asked Drayton and they said it was fine with oil fired systems but switching capacity was 2 amps.
