    Hi All

    about this time every year I plan to finally sort my heating but I never get around to it but this year I will.

    What I have at the moment is a oil fired boiler on a simple timer in the utlity room like this one.

    http://www.obcork.ie/assets/images/products/66B.jpg

    and I have to manually turn on each of the 4 zones or the HW using switches in the hotpress, the zones are ran with circulating pump's and not motorised valves.

    I have a stat on the cylinder and 2 room stats, one up stairs and one down stairs.

    I want to move to something like this.

    http://www.bhl.co.uk/images/products/65485/detail/horstmann-channelplus-h37xl-programmer.jpg

    I guess I would need to move the wire for the boiler from the utlity to the hot press that should not be much trouble.

    What I need to know is what sort of money would this cost, I know the timer is about 100 euro and i have everything else in place except for some wire that I would run my self.

    I like the idea that the timer calls the boiler for heat only when needed, my current system I feel is very wastful and I have to leave the pumps on all the time which I don't like.

    can anyone recommend someone in the Kildare area that knows there stuff and is clean and tidy,

    Thanks
