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.

    LOL, I have just ended up quoting an analogue timer after all my comments, but the heating period is finite because when the cylinder is hot the thermostat will cut the supply, so long as the tenant leaves the time setting alone unless there has been a power cut or similar and only presses the boost button during the day all will be well. However I allowed for a new insulation jacket for the cylinder to help things along. ?

    " Not very good design as you can't see the front panel writing very clearly - especially in a dark cupboard! The writing is tiny and no reason why it couldn't be bigger font.

    The clock numerals go anti-clockwise too - who on earth got that wrong!!!
