Boiler Timer

[PlumbersMate]

Afternoon. A customer of mine has asked me to replace the timer on his boiler? To a seven day one. Just wanted to know if this is a difficult job, and do I need to be gas safe to do this? Don't want to break the law!! Cheers as always

Should have said he wants me to change from an internal timer to an external 7 day one

you just need to be competent with electrics its not a difficult job but if your unsure best left to a competent person

Thanks gas man. Just don't want to lose out and pass on to another plumber as he is a customer who I have done four jobs for now, plus his sister wants same thing doing so don't want to lose his work! May get my sparky cousin to help

If it is a common timer the manufacturer might supply the same clock in 7 day vairiant with the same base plate so it be a click off click on job for the timer.
