Remeha Avanta Plus

[debbie2013]

Hello,

Ihave the Remeha Avanta Plus combi boiler and was wondering if it is possible to purchase a remote control unit to operate the system.

I find that the clock on the boiler is constantly loosing time and therefore unable to set the timer for the heating to come on.

If there is a remote control out there, could anyone please let me know the model number?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Debbie

Depending on the age of the boiler Remeha do a very good rf (remote) room thermostat called the iSense (you'd want the RF version)

Unfortunately you'd need a gas safe registered chappy to fit it though as it involves disturbing combustion seals (as would changing what you have at the moment)

Hi Roger,

Thanks for your reply, that is very helpful.

I take it there are no remotes out there that don't need a gas safe engineer?

Thanks again, Debbie

unfortunately not as the connections are not accessible without breaking the combustion seals. Not a big job though.

Pop a post in the 'looking for a engineer' section on here somebody may be local to you that could help.

:welcome: to the forum 'debbie2013' 🙂

A wireless programmable room thermostat will do the job just fine .. alas you will need someone who is GSR to remove the case and access the electrics or a sparky who thinks they know what they're doing.... take your choice IMHO 🙂

Thanks for the reply Diamondgas. I shall start to look around for a remote

Thanks again Roger. I shall start to look around for a remote and see how I get on.....

Wireless thermostats come in all sorts of designs and prices 'debbie2013' ... Cheep and simple I've fitted are the Seimens.

Impossible to program! Siemens are awful IMHO

New one's have an override TBS, not sure if you've seen them ... Pretty simple to set up and Cheap as Chips in comparison to Honywell IMO 🙂

I don't like wireless if I'm honest and steer custards to the cheaper one's as they're less expensive to replace when they go wrong...!

Tbh my main experience of Siemens was a housing estate full of 2 channel programmers which were just god awful. No one could figure out how to use them lol

I really like the Salus RF room stats. Easy to set up and use, about a third of the price of Honeywell.

Another good feature is when they fail after a power cut, or when your neighbours turn your heating off with their tv remote lol

What on, the Siemens, or Salus? I've never had that kind of problem with Salus..

Salus. Been to a few that have done it. Only ever fitted 2 myself. Stopped after first incident.

Salus, Siemans, they are ****e,learnt the hard way, I.E callbacks and wasted diesel...... honeywell all the way for me, old Draytons were fairly stable too!

Ditto pal. Horstmann are fairly good too, especially for 3/4 channel programers, but there's not much call to break away from what you know is best.

I find the old horstman 2/3 chanel timers had a habbit of locking up after a power outage, and the revised model (without the slider) so unresponsive when setting up, press button wait 10 seconds, press another button wait 10 seconds...... I gave up on the them.

Salus do a good wireless stat and easy to wire
