anything is better wired if you can

 

[Rooky007]

But I though need wireless to do remote access

 

[Rooky007]

But I don't think I can have the nest wired to the boiler without trailing wires to it. So is wireless problematic if so I won't bother just stick to my current set up

dont know nest but arnt they all remote access, and its just wired it wired directly to boiler and the wireless uses a base (e the base is wired to the boiler and the nest it free to mount anywhere) might be wrong as dont fit them

I guess you prefer the programable ones I don't have s issue with mine. But I just wished when I am away it can turn on a day before I get home

What you are paying for is expertise, someone who pays tax, has to run and insure a van and a business and will no doubt stay there till its sorted. Ohh and after all that he also has to make a living.

They will also set it up and test it and help make adjustments.
If that is the going rate - then you know your options.

I know what your saying but if nest only charging £50 extra for installation it no brainier so might as well go that route

Really should of looked into it before you brought it, could of saved yourself a Sunday.

I though it be a simple wire up looking on nest video but my boiler appears different

 

[newcastle phill]

It is easy. If you have a volt meter and method / knowledge you could work it out if your competent. I can see what you need to do being familiar with the boiler and also a nest installer/supplier. But for safety reasons its best you stick to your plan B.

 

[Frelon]

Don't try to be a cheapskate, Nest purchase and installer is a no-brainer. Takes all the hassle out of it and you know it will work[emoji106]

 

[Rooky007]

It not About being cheap sake it about funds as we a low income family. If I was comfortable I be happy to pay out

use 2 as com (black wire)
use 3 as no (Grey Wire)

but as you have said get the pro version and get it fitted for £50

My point is if all it need for me take the wires out of my current wifi box. Putting the brown and blue in L and N and putting black in 2 and Greyin 3 then that easy for me do all I needed is confirmation this is correct since it only 24v

what you need to find out is does the nest use its own live to turn the boiler on if yes you cant use if no your fine as what your have said

Hopefully someone here will know

 

[Rooky007]

Just no mention on nest site if it live

 

[village idiot]

The Nest should be able to work on both High & Low voltage. So you could easily connect it up with the current wires. And as Shaun said, you need not have removed the boiler cover. Just turning the boiler off, removing the 3amp fuse, then wiring it up and use multimeter to check would have been sufficient. The N & L are no isues, just the Com & No. But if low voltage, then you should be ok. I do fit ''Smart Thermostats'', but not advisable to give someone info that could lead to them being zapped. If you return to the Nest Community, they should be able to tell you how to go about it.

What does NO stands for. Call for heat?
