[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1006165, member: 176704"] Have had failures of both traditional analogue (mechanical failure of the bimetalic strip) and wireless (who know why those failed?) stats - nothing lasts for ever. Last failure was about 5 months ago with the 2nd wireless one, and I have replaced it with a Drayton Digistat +3RF, which I have found to be far the easiest to programme (some are real pigs in that respect) and then adjust daily if required - IIRC, about £100 from Screwfix. Generally the batteries in the remote units last at least a couple of years, and the Drayton is good because it uses AAs (some use CR2032s, and you only get 12-18 months from those). Biggest hassle was installing and wiring up the receiver/switch box between the supply to the boiler and the boiler itself, but that was partially because of how the previous wireless stat box was installed by the guys who installed the boiler (Bosch Worcester Greenstar 30Si).
