Well Ibby it's food for thought when the old boiler in our home goes, and hopefully that won't be me (smile.) But seriously it's very nice for a change that someone actually went to the bother of doing their homework so that Chris could benefit from the Cobolt timer. We all complain like hell when people don't deliver, so it's nice to hear someone went the extra mile.

The heating engineer who did the assessment suggested putting in a mechanical timer, as he said that I wouldn't get any help from a digital timer. However, when they arrived last Thursday, they brought the Cobolt talking timestat with them - I hadn'ttold the engineer about this product, so he must have done some good research. The electrician removed the plug and socket from the timer and connected it up permanently to the boiler. It works well, but because the lead that takes the current to the boiler is so short, the timer has to stand on a worktop, which is not an ideal place for it. Hope this helps.

Hi all I think this has been covered on here before, so apologies for repetition. I had a quick look on Google, but didn't find anything. Is there such a thing around? We just had a new combi boiler installed, with a fancy new digital thermostat control. My partner hates manuals, and I can't operate the thermostat on my own. Any help appreciated. Also, I'm sure a lot of you may already be aware, but for those who are not. We had the boiler fitted free of charge, which would have cost just under £2500 if we would have had to of paid for it. We applied to the warm front grant scheme, and the rest was easy. The main eligibility for the grant is, certain benefits, e.g. dla, etc, and
you either own the property, or rent it privately. They will also carry out insulation work. Its worth knowing about, as we were about to spend £2500 of our own money. It doesn't matter if you are working, as its not income related. Best wishes. Terry
