Central heating controls

Posted by Susan Ash, on
I need my central heating controls replacing, do I need a heating engineer or an electrician?

Hi Susan, Depending upon the kind of heating system you have i.e a combi boiler or indirect system with seperate controller then post a job in the Electrical category and a local electrician will be able to deal with this for you. But be warned i have seen both plumbers and electricans make a complete hash of something as simple as replacing the controller if it is of a different type to the existing one as obviously not all controllers are wired the same and its not just a simple swap over.

Either of the two should be able to carry out the job but I would use a heating engineer as he can work on both the elec and the heating.

What would you like to do now?
