Have Honeywell lost the plot?

    Third Honeywell heating controller in three years has just expired. They're overpriced sh1te. Honeywell kit used to have a good rep - have they gone downhill?

    Any recommendations? Might have a rummage in the garage for our old Sunvik thingy.

  2. Was it a Chinese repro?
     
  3. Nope. Full price Honeywell - and they're not cheap. The first one was dead out the box, the second lasted a month before doing mad flamenco castanets with its relays, the third has just frozen with the hot water on, telling me it's eighty-three o'clock. Useless.

    Avoid

  5. A lot of stuff these days is big name badged but made in China or Eastern Europe. Bosch seems to do this a lot. and the quality and durability suffers. I have a Danfoss heating controller which has lasted years and still working fine.

  6. From reading up on the web, it's a deficient design. But they still keep making them.
     
  7. Throw it over the Fence :)

  12. Best think with them is get rid and just set the boiler up manually

    Typical 14 posts in and not one plumber shows up, @snotty ask an Eastern European, they are more reliable :thumbsup:

    @Ermintrude you told me this Gus Honeywell was a rabbit, turns out it’s a heating thingy:D
     
  16. It's ok Baz, the Polish bloke next door gave me an answer, then bought me a couple of pints.

    The others said they'd like to give me answer, but it won't be before next Thursday.
