Climapro 2 rf on a ultracom2 cxi

[Valiant87]

Hi,

My nan lives on her own and she basically has no controls or roomstat for her combi so when it comes to turning the heating up or down you have to do it on the boiler which is in a cupboard in her bathroom, I told her that I will get her a wireless stat so she can change it herself when she needs to as she has to wait for someone to go round to do it as she does not know how to do it off the boiler.
If I get one of these Climapro 2 rf stats is it as simple as plugging it in to the fascia of her boiler? Basically can I do it as i'm not a electrician? As you can see on the pic below there is a mechanical timer already.
Any help appreciated.

Hello,

According to instructions, it states wiring must be done by a competent engineer, but because it looks like the cover needs to be removed, you will need to be gas safe or get someone who is.

Thanks,

Ahh right ok so best get someone to do it then. I was hoping it would be a nice and easy plug in.

Yeah sorry believe cover forms part of the combustion seal on these

Personally for an elderly customer I’d get something a lot simpler to use.

Could you suggest something else that you think is easier for her from your experience? obviously an external rf would mean a receiver on the wall next to the boiler but im not sure if there is much room for this where she has the boiler.

ESI do a nice simple digital turning thermostat. Still need a GS engineer to fit. See what they recommend

honeywell t3r unless you can find a Honeywell Y6630D

We fit loads of these, and are simple to use and install. As already stated gas safe engineer required.

Forgot the link 🙄

It also depends on your budget.

Most of my associates have responded that will give you a fair idea.
