honeywell T6360

[dacolonel]

Hi I have recently moved into a new house and home and have a honeywell T6360 installed. Although the operation of the thermostat seems simple enough, it doesnt seem to be working correctly.

If i switch it to 15 degrees it turns off, however if i turn it on regrdless of temp set it doesnt seem to regulate the temperature.

Essentually the boiler seems to be running at full capacity.

I have no experience with thermostats so any any help would be appreciated.

One thing to note, the room where the thermostat is situated is a small cold room with no central heating.

Thanks in advance

They are not throttles.

However, thermostats are often not installed correctly, with the anticipator disconnected or two close to secondary heat sources.

What boiler is it?

Hi Dan, I'm guessing the device is installed in the incorrect location as the pantry is only ~ 12 degrees.

Hi Muggles, its a BAXI combi instant 80 HE

Or should be installed were it is measuring the reference temperature of the house. By definition, the pantry is the worst place.

Lazy installer syndrome.

The Honeywell cm927 is put probably the quickest solution.

Hi Dan, I'd guessed as much in all honesty the there is still about 3 meters of cable attached, so im not sure what the previous owners intention were

How difficult is the cm927 to install, bearing in mind this is the current istallation (see pics)

 

[Dan Robinson]

It would take a professional less than an hour.

That is an absolute abortion of an installation. I would have it checked out.

Ta i guessed as much. I take it the cm927 is a thermostat + timer. Would it best asking a plumber to install or an electrician? I was reviewing some others, such as hive and nest. whats your opinon on those

 

[Dan Robinson]

I don't rate either, but I'm an unapologetic Honeywell fan.

If you want Internet control,

Looking at the Evohome system. Or the single Zone Thermostat which comes as a pack with the Internet gateway.

You need a boiler engineer /technician. Not a sparky.

When we see a mess like your pictures, we wonder what other nasties are lurking underneath.

One last question, which would be the best all rounder between cm927 and single zone. Essentially i want to replace the timeer that i have in place + the thermostat. Im guessing the cm927.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Single Zone Thermostat is a timer when connected to the internet.

Cm927 is the simplest solution.

Ironically, all 3 options I have presented are connected to the boiler in exactly the same way.

If it was my boiler, I would probably use the single Zone Thermostat

That's a polite way of putting it, that wiring is f****** s***. The timer isn't even fixed to a wall! What installer in their right mind would consider that installation acceptable, or even safe enough to hand over to the customer?

My guess is that the installer didn't leave it like that. Ive now gone into columbo mode and I think I can see some sawdust in the cupboard. So I deduce that the previous owner did a diy kitchen refit and decided that he didn't want the programmer on show.

I'd roll with that. It's amazing what retarded ideas people come up with when they decide to sell a house.
