Oil Boiler Isolation Switch.

Zoomup over 5 years ago

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.

Surprisingly yes, people have their boilers cycling when they don't actually need the hot water to be up to full temperature.

Also many people don't understand the Eco button on many combi boilers or that many combi boilers can be fitted with a timer to control preheating of the boiler.
