What timer/programmer/thermostat for Ideal isar 30 HE
What thingy do I need, as Ideal don't make or recommend what to use. I
basically need something that will let me program the heating and water seperately over a 7 day period, the usual stuff like heating on at 7am off at 9am, on at 4pm of at 6pm. Also do I need some of room thermostat, if so are there all in one jobbies, programmer, timer, thermo, etc, and where should it/they be sited. TIA Jon. |

Buy a Honeywell CM67 with the optimisation function - a stat/programmer. http://tinyurl.com/aw6um |

I used a Horstman one on my Isar HE35: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...12157&ts=72301 Works very well. It has up to six different timed zones in a 24 hour period, so you can have night time, early morning, morning, afternoon, early and late evening each at different temperatures if you want. It is also easy to override an tweek the temp up or down with the push of a button. Stick it in a room with a rad that has two lockshields fitted (i.e. no TRV). The hall is a common choice - but front room may be good also. Make sure there are no other frequently used heat sources in the same room, or else you may find you one nice warm room and a cold house. No need to worry about hot water, that is allways ready to go on demand. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Has holiday mode (lock on a low temp whilst away in winter). Needs three AA bats which last for years.

Having optimisation is the best way, like the CM67. It saves a fuel, and the stat/programmer will soon pay for itself. If you going to do it do it properly. |

No need to worry about hot water, that is allways ready to go on demand. It has no optimisation. The Honeywell is a superior unit. Which is too complicated for 90%+ of customers. The Horstmann unit is too complex for 40%. It isn't. Once they understand that they programme in temperatures it is easy. If my sister can grasp a CM67 anyone can. Two little buttons to wind the temperature up and down too. If you come in, in a period at the temperature is set to say 18C, then you just set it to 21C and it sayes there for that time period. It is simple and effective and saves fuel. I rate it no more complicated than the Horstman. The Landis & Staefa optimisation stat/programmer is easy enough too. Landis always have easy to use products. The expensive energy managers optimise the on and off between the set temperature ranges, of which there may be 6 and above. The Building Research Establishment claimed one model saved about 25% of fuel using one of these. They are self adaptive in that they learn the buildings moods. Not going for the optimisation function on a stat/programmer is foolish. |

Since when did buildings start having moods? Do they experience PMT once a month and a menopause after 50 years as well? Presumably at that point they should be knocked down... -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl The information contained in this post is copyright the poster, and specifically may not be published in, or used by http://www.diybanter.com |
