Thanks, yes I seen some boilers saying Hydrogen Ready but mine doesn’t as was installed before this was even mentioned so I’d require  newer one.

Currently have Ideal boiler so would prob stick to the same as seems pretty good so far.  Only issue so far has been the programmer failing in the boiler and not allowing Nest to control turning it on/off as the date was lost so it basically just ran 24/7 up to high temperatures as it wasn’t accepting the temp from Nest etc.

I’ve been able to resolve that but buying a replacement and then buying some capacitors and got it replaced on the faulty one so should be good now for when this one ever fails, last one lasted about 6 years or so before it gave a issue.  It was probably due to the power goes out just for a few seconds every few weeks due to over head cables etc I suspect so i guess it decided enough was enough :)

I now have programmer in boiler set to continuous and Nest controls it 100% now, albeit Nest will *still* turn it on of a night if temp drops whereas before it never came on even if it did via programmer but fortunately its not on for too long so whilst costing more, it isn’t a massive amount more.
