Hi
I wish to replace the basic timer attached to my Ideal Isar HE24 (or HE35, not sure which) Combi with a timer/room thermostat, preferably with a wireless model. Current timer is a basic Drayton LP timer.
Obviously I would like to spend the minimum possible on a new wireless timer room thermostat without buying junk. They seem to vary greatly on price.
My questions are:
Would it be a simple case of swapping the old timer for a new timer/thermostat using the existing 3 core cable which comes from the boiler to the timer or would additional wiring at the boiler end be required? Or would this vary depending on chosen model?
Can I use any timer/thermostat or will some be incompatible?
Do you have any recommendations? My basic requirements are for a wireless thermostat I can fix in a different room to the boiler with standard 5/2 timer controls. Frost protection would be nice too.
Many thanks for any advice in advance.
Dave
