N

Neil Potter

I’m looking to self install a Nest Learning Thermostat on my Worcester Bosch 280 boiler, mainly as it’s a rented house, and I need to be able to remove the Nest when I leave, or when the boiler is serviced.

The wiring looks straight forward, but I just wanted to sense check before I go ahead.

The boiler doesn’t have a stat currently, so on the stat section has an unused N connection. 1 & 2 are jumpered (2 shows 240v, 1 is 0v), a 3 is unsued and unmarked, and 4 is unused and marked Frost Stat.


So I assume I can run a 4 core to the Nest Heatlink, and wire up as follows.

N from boiler to N on heatlink

2 (240v Live) from boiler to L on heatlink, and then jumper L on the heatlink to common / 2 on the heatlink (do I need to run a 3A inline fuse or not on the jumper cable?)

1 from boiler to 3 (relay open) on the Heatlink

Earth (needed or not? As Nest stat will be wireless)


Is that pretty much it, bar testing, tidying, and testing again?
 
are you a spark .
 
rented out you say , have got a liability insurance. if not get some body in .
 
Do you have permission from your landlord to do this?

What controls are currently installed?

Are you suitably qualified to open the boiler casing?
