Oil Boiler Isolation Switch.

Zoomup
Evenin' All,


Regarding an external ground sited domestic oil fired boiler for heating and hot water that has an internal switched fused connection unit nearby inside the house, what regulations will require an external electrical isolator adjacent to the oil boiler? You know the sort of thing, a double pole rotary isolator.

    The living area should be one heating zone and the sleeping accommodation another one with the provision for setting different heating periods and room temperatures, the boiler should noty cycle in the middle of the night to deliver instant hot water when no one needs it.


    Do it right and you will save the bill payer a lot of money by significantly reducing the bills for oil.


    I plumbed a heating system for the boiler guy to come and install the boiler as he could not do it all for various reasons, it was a two bed cottage so there were two heating zones with a programmable thermostat in each zone and a timer for the hot water located in the kitchen, so three separate timers which sounds OTT for a two bed cottage, but very efficent.
