  • We couldn't get our Nest back working again after Monday's outage.

    They are sending us a new Heat Link at some point within the next nine days, and have said on the phone (but not yet in writing) that they will cover the cost of installation.

    But we haven't got anyone to install it and I'm not sure we'll be able to by Christmas. It's fucking freezing without it and we've got 2 electric radiators on most of the time.

    It's ridiculous that we've got a boiler that's only a year old and in perfect working condition that we can't actually use to heat the house because of some piece of shit electrical device that's wired to it.

  • i installed mine myself its pretty easy. lots of help on you tube

  • that’s a DIY job if you can wire a terminal block and not electrocute yourself.

    You may also be able to bypass the controller completely using the boiler settings on the faceplate.

    what a ball ache though I agree.

  • We just did ours ourselves. 10 min job max, especially as all the wiring etc is all there and presumably correct and just needs reconnected.

  • Was Nest installed with the boiler when it was new? Otherwise I'd have thought you should be able to remove it and go back to manual control as Howard suggested.

    How to should be the opposite of the Nest installation procedure.

  • what boiler is it? You can disconnect the nest and put a plug on it and itll be on 24hrs a day but that'll get you buy. Although you might need to disconnect it in the boiler and stick a bit of 3 core in if they have used 5 core to wire the nest.

  • This is how my renovation started. Uh oh...
