Hi all,
I have an OSO Direct 210 hit water cylinder installed in my home, with 2 switches (on/off; and boost). The boiler is for hot water only (rads are electric).
In the 5 years that I’ve lived at this property, I’ve never once turned the boiler off; however, with soaring energy prices, I’m wondering if I should be looking to have the boiler on a timer.
Firstly; is anyone able to advise whether there is in fact any likely benefit to installing a timer… Or whether it is actually best to just leave it on all the time. If on a timer, I would want for there to be hot water in the morning (e.g. 07:00-10:00) and in the evening (e.g. 18:00-21:00).
If a timer does make sense, any advice on a suitable solution, would be much appreciated… I would want a system that is both programmable and Wi-Fi enabled, so that I could manage via an app on my phone.
I’ve attached photos of the current set up.
Many thanks for reading this; and for any guidance you might have.
