Boiler external thermostatic/control?

boogiesherbs

Hello im after some advice/quote

We currently have a Heatline compact combi boiler that was fitted by the previous owner of the house, the house also has no thermostatic controls just TRVs on the radiators.

So i wanted to know if its possible to have a walkround control/thermostat fitted to out boiler so we can control it and program it from this control? and how much it would cost?
we have a baby due this month so want to get a good level temperature in the house,

You still haven't said what model it is. Give Heatline a ring in the morning and see if they supply a wireless stat (which it seems is what you want) thats compatible with the boiler you have if you are looking for a receiver that plugs straight in to your boiler. They are normally in the £ 100 - £ 120 range although you'll find deals.

If its a plug-in module it should be a DIY job. 5 - 10 minutes to do and many, many hours to learn how to drive it!

Your boiler needs to be compatible with a plug-in receiver module which literally just plugs in to a socket ready to receive it on the boiler. Its not the same as a 13 amp plug. You need to talk to Heatline to see if there is one. If there is then yes it should be DIYable but Heatline will advise you and doesn't need a GasSafe registered installer to fit it (GasSafe took over the maintenance of the register from CORGI on 1st April 2009). A plug in receiver module takes its power from the boiler via one of the pins on the connections.
