Hi all,

I have a mechanical timer (5 wire not including ground) by the boiler for heating & water and a thermostat in the living room.

The timer keeps missing switches so not coming on/off automatically. I could replace it like for like but I'm considering removing it and changing the thermostat to control everything from there.

Is it a simple task with some wires joined together or is it a big rewire that requires a professional?

Thanks in Advance.
 
You could chance it for a new timer easy enough but depending on your knowledge you could upgrade to an all in one eg nest etc
 
It’s not just joining some wires together, nor is it a big rewire, just tracing the wires in the wiring center.
 
Normally an easy thing to do if you’re confident/competent enough. Ideally we could be more guiding if we knew the model of timer coming out and the new one going in
