Reply To: Boiler Query Hi all, So been visiting parents for a few days and it seems, the power went out some point over the last week and must of been a longer than…

I generally get them probably once every 3 months ish but can depend on the weather, i think its due to over head cables to my area.  To my house its underground but to the area, its overhead and from looking at google, it implies its weather that causes it as its only out for a few seconds unless very bad weather.

No circuits in consumer unit go off/trip and when its restored after few seconds everything is back up and working so hence I’ve ruled out any appliances etc.

I’ve just ordered a new programmer ad also a timer loop as the programmer is great as I can physically set it and it does what it says on the tin, Nest always seems to try turn on of a night at times which I don’t want so as i managed to get programmer much cheaper that any pries I’ve seen for it, I’ve gone with that so effectively I have 2 options now.  If this one fails/doesn’t work, then I’ll go with the timer loop and let Nest control it all and try and figure out why it sometimes wants to come on in middle of the night or a bit earlier than scheduled.

It’s not just mine, some people online have had the same albeit only for a brief period of time.  For me, i just don’t want to hear the boiler in middle of the night or pay for heating in middle of the night, especially as prices getting high – left my tariff as variable as they pulled the fixed I was considering so will just be what it will be now until prices become more stable or cheaper
