vix2000   10 #1526 Posted April 1, 2020 Does anyone know any plumbers in Sheffield that do the affordable energy scheme for free boilers? I can only find suppliers outside Sheffield and would prefer a local company if at all possible?

jhs2zz   10 #1530 Posted September 6, 2020 Hi  I would like to install a Nest smart thermostat and I am doing some research about it. I am not going to fit it myself but will hire an electrician to do the job. But after reading about it, it seems that you need to make sure 1) it fit with your current heating system; 2) the wiring could be complicated (at least to me as a nobody in terms of wiring!)  I don't want to buy it and then realise it is not compatible with my property. So I would to ask how do I check if my property will be ok (I currently have a Worcester combi boiler that has a remote thermostat), and how should I choose electricians for this job, could any electrician do it?  Many thanks!

If the connection of the Hive thermostat to the boiler requires the removal of a non decrative boiler casing, then a Gas Registered Plumber/electrician should be used for the installation.

Thank you. I really don't know if that's the case though I think it isn't. But probably it's better to just get a gas registered electrician anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

gamezone07 Â Â 18 #1535 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) it was a loose live wire in the plug!, but it shouldn't powered by a plug, it should be wired to a fused spur, isn't that right? Â I did find out the remote can't completely switch off the bolier, according to the manufacturers.
