30+ Year Old Oil Fired CHW Boiler – No Control System

[paul.deitch]

This boiler has separate pumps for water and central heating, no room thermostat, no timer controller, and no pump run on. It does have a manual mix valve on the heating to reduce the radiator temps.

I have been quoted 400 plus installation for a mixer valve controller (naturally including a standard room thermostat, controller etc) but I am not sure that it makes sense to spend so much money on a boiler that could become a problem quite soon.

So any product recommendations for a simple 2x switched live pump controller with room thernostat/timer that I can fit until we decide to change the boiler and renew the complete system?

I like the idea of timers on the circuits as it is my kind of technology but it is a rental house we are renovating so might not be suitable for many people expecting a proper controller. Don't want to start doing conversions at this stage as one thing always leads to another. So still looking for a controller solution.
