Recommend a central heating control system.... Please !!!!!

[stulew]

I have to install a new C/H system and I am having problems deciding what controls to use for it (I have been told that some controls work better with certain boilers etc). As I only normally install Combi's (and that is when I have no other work) the conventional wiring of a system is new to me. The only customer specification is for there to be a wireless Digistat. I am not part P registered so my sparky mate will be certifying it for me. The boiler going is a Worcester CDi (Conventional) and I want a control system that is going to be relatively easy to fit. I know Danfoss and Drayton make a wireless system. I would appreciate some help on this..

Wiring's pretty simple, the receiver bit "looks" like a thermostat. The instructions will be on the websites.

Chris.. Thanks for the reply.
To be honest I am quite conpetant at wiring etc, I really just wondered if anybody had used a wireless thermostat with a timer that they were particularly impressed with. After speaking to my supplier about controls etc I got a bit concerned about compatibility with the Worcester, am I being a bit cynical thinking that maybe he didn't understand about the controls himself so that is why he said that I am better getting them from somewhere else !!! or maybe I am just becoming a grumpy and cynical old man.....

Welcome to the club. We even have our own web site

I'm pretty sure the cdi has a plug in wireless receiver option...you just hand over the remote stat and tell them to keep it on the coffee table, no wiring required.

No, they do not have plug ins for Worcester CDI Convential/Regular boilers.

I believe wireless stats have to be docked where the rad with no trv is, what customer does with it after that is another matter.

I always use s plan over y plan. I just buy the complete packs, it's much better deal. I like all things sensible and reliable if I am given free reign. If customer wants something else that's up to them but if they want my advice they get s plan.

For combis (Buderus) I buy the Buderus dedicated single channel wireless programable/rstat, because it is cheap and doesn;t require 240votls so part p can eff off.

Hmmm I've had to have a quick check, but for the 24 cdi 4731130 try these:

acl drayton transmitter worc. no. 7-716-192-004-0
" " receiver 7-716-192-005-0
siebe remote programmer system 7-716-192-006-0

My sentiments exactly!
