I like the fact that it can be locked with a PIN to prevent changes to the settings - that could save me the cost of the unit in a couple of weeks :-)

Does anyone if this can be easily installed in place of Manual circular thermostat?
Grrrrrrrrrrr to mario2001

Two things spring to mind.
Firstly, if your existing thermostat just has two wires (plus a protective "ground" wire) going to it, then it should be simple. Thermostats with more wires than this are possibly best left to those that wouldn't need to ask.
Secondly, this thermostat has a rating of 8A AC (resistive), 1A AC (inductive). So, ideally, you would find what the rating of the existing thermostat, or get the boiler installation manual and find out what the required rating for a wall thermostat should be for it. If the replacement thermostat has the same or higher rating, that's fine.
Not to mention that you need to be very, very sure that the circuit doesn't have mains on it, when working on it.
Finally, this unit has excellent potential to minimise fuel consumption. Whilst it will almost certainly be no worse than the existing one - if set up properly it could save significant amounts of dosh. Not that the average plumber would probably bother to spend the time to do that.... Or am I being cynical?

This is a programmer and does not actually alter the flow of water as I suspect you manual control does. You will also require electrically operated flow control valve(s) to make it work and the services of both a plummer and electrician .

This looks like a good deal but there don't seem to be any reviews/star ratings of it on Amazon or Screwfix. Has anyone on here found any reviews/ star ratings?

Thanks for detailed reply. Seems like it's beyond my skill set. Electrician installed the thermostat and the combi boiler was installed last year By plumber. I've ordered but will have to ask the electrician or plumber.

as grrrrrrrrrr said. (sorry if i got your name wrong (. you stat which you currently have would more than likely have the 2 wires. it is easly too see. take it off the wall and have a look. if it does this will fit perfectly i believe as it is battery operated meaning no mains live required. you need to connect the 2 wires from you old stat into this stat and it would work fine. meaning you can do it i would think. if on the other hand this stat requires mains live then leave it to a professional. hope this is of some help

i forgot to say the corcular type of stat only have 2 wires as this creats the link within the boiler

Thanks. Do you know if any of the two wires will be live ie 210/ 240 volts? I remember electrician running wires from the boiler to the thermostats one downstairs and the second upstairs.

no if it has two wires they are the link wires to the boiler. basically the 2 wires tell the boiler to come on or off. if you tell me the make or tou boiler and the stat you have i may be able to help u firther
