honeywell thermostat

[rinefitz]

hi i have just moved into a new house. there is a thermostat in the airing cupboard and then you turn the heat up on the radiators (no wall thermostat). i am used to the wall ones! anyhow its getting a little cold so checked rads but not on, so then went to airing cupboard to check thermo but the display is blank and i am unable to get any power to it? i'm not sure what i can do as the trigger switches are all in place i think? the box is not what i'm used to as this is a older house. any suggestions??? thanks

Sounds like it's knackered....

You need to get the power on, there should be a fused spur near the unit alongside the control with a three amp fuse in it that may need checking / replacing. or a breaker or switch somewhere has been turned off that you need to hunt for and turn back on. For future reference the heating slider and the hot water slider need to be in the Auto, Once or Twice position and the setting slider has to be in the Run Programme position for the system to work. ( when you have power that is ). And I would get a room thermostat fitted if I were you. It must cost a fortune wasting expensive gas, not having one installed.
