Looking at replacing boiler and including a Nest

Xeorix

We've just bought a house, which has a Glowworm Ultimate boiler. It's an old school boiler with a hot water tank in it.

We're having some refurbishment work done in the house and are going to need to move the boiler, so figured it might be a good idea to get the boiler replaced.

We would like a Combi boiler that works with the Nest thermostat, possibly including a zoned house.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what boilers to go for, and also a rough price range for which this might cost (excluding price of Nests)

I should have thought Honeywell's Evohome, though it's got less publicity so far, would have been a better bet for zoning than Nest?

Indeed. Unless I am mistaken zoning with the Nest requires an actual Nest unit in each room! :eek:The Evohome simply requires a wirless TRV in each room which links to a central controller. Aesthetics aside (and I know the founder of Nest spent time at Apple and obvioulsy realised the importance of cool looks lol) surely a system like Evohome would be a far better solution for your circumstances?

After looking at the various options, EvoHome is what I am going with.

Nest is too expensive and needs to many units to do what I want - Zoned central heating upstairs (1 room = 1 zone) and zoned underfloor heating downstairs. Remote control, etc.
