Hi,

The house we bought some time back has only very basic heating controls for our gas boiler, On or Off based on temperature via a Nest thermostat. There is no ability to heat only our water with the boiler unless I manually turn a valve which would stop the water from flowing to the radiators. Also there is no thermostat on the cylinder which from my research is not very efficient.

I've seen that a 3 port valve could be installed but I don't think this can be integrated with the Nest.

Has anyone come across a similar setup and if so what are my options? We need to get the cylinder replaced soon as it has no insulation so I would like to do it all at the same time if possible.

Thanks in advance
