hot water/ch timer

[johnik]

Hi peeps,first post here so please be gentle
just moved into my new place and the first problem i have is the hot water/ch timer,it,s a satchwell analog clock stylie thing with some pins that do the on/off times,looks pretty old,anyhow,it looses about 4 hours in a 24 hour period,is it a bin job or can it be cleaned/adjusted,if it,s a bin job,can i put a digital one on or would i be better off with the old clockwork type that even i can work out
thanks in advance

Its bin time, if you post up the model one of should be able to tell you a direct digital replacement.

If you decide to replace it be aware that there are ones available which you can control remotely by internet/smart phone. BG have Hive, I'm sure there will be others. We have Hive and find it great, especially since we come and go at different times of any given day. I can turn the heating up when leaving work, for example, and have the house toasty by the time I get home etc.
