Who should I be contacting to install a new timer for our central heating? A spark? Gas safe engineer? Boiler maintenance person?
We currently have an extremely old baxi back boiler with correspondingly aged analogue timer which is on its way out - it doesn't switch off reliably and I've had to run it the wrong way around on the timer because of the way the on/off switches work, plus they're extremely stiff so I can't always change the timings.
I'd like to replace it with a standard digital one - nothing fancy or requiring stands in different rooms or anything like that, but that I can program the heating and hw to come on separately and change the timings depending on the day. I had a Nest engineer over before and he said he couldn't fit the hive timer-digi-thing because there wasn't a suitable power supply to the timer connection and it couldn't be run because it would involve pulling the boiler out of the chimney breast. Has anyone had any experience of this? Is it even possible to change them without completely upgrading my very old but reliable and well serviced boiler system?
