Does it have a thermostat on it ?

No, display is the power consumption in Watts.

I don't suppose anyone knows if it has a thermostat?

What type of thermostat are you looking for? Looks like the boiler has a boiler thermostat.

 

[fitzykev]

I just want the boiler to go of when the house gets to say 21 degrees and come bsck on when it drops under. So I can save on oil and make it run more economically

You need a room thermostat for that. If you don’t have one, you need one fitting in order to achieve your request.

Can a smart thermostat or wireless thermostat be fitted to this system ?

Can a smart thermostat or wireless thermostat be fitted to this system ?

Yes, Either or, or even one that covers both options. I think you need to employ a professional as not being able to identify a circulator does not fill me with confidence as to your ability.

Yes, either should work.

My father is an electrician. He installed his own oil heating system I can ask him. What wireless thermostat do you recommend?

 

[ianmcd]

There are so many, all depends on what you want to achieve

I want to have the house sitting at about 21 degrees In winter and for heating to kick in again if it drops under. to go off about 1030pm and back on about 8am

Hard wired and wireless programmable thermostats will satisfy those needs. Hard wired may be tricky to install as a retrofit though.
