New Timeclock

[I'dRatherBeFishin]

Hi,
I've just fitted a programable Drayton room stat which works fine, I would like to have the heating on 24/7 and let the room stat control when it comes on and off, the problem is my boiler and timeclock are about 20 yrs old, it is a Thorn Olympic boiler with a Landis & Gyr timeclock which wont let the heating come on without the water.
My question really is will fitting a new diigtal timeclock that lets the heating come-on without the hot water work with my boiler??

DONT change you timer just yet

do you have gravity hot water and pumped CH if so then you cannot have CH without hw

[corgiman]

and yours is the smart money as per kev me old son

(goes mad in tic tac giving evens on to 4/2 against a fully pumped system)

 

[I'dRatherBeFishin]

Yea its a gravity system

 

[corgiman]

then you CANNOT seperate you hot water from your central heating

You can HW without CH but NOT the other way

is you want full control over you system you will have to upgrade it to a fully pumped system

sorry
