How to use/set a central heating timer. Combi boiler mechanical timer (Baxi Duo Tec)

[@helenarcher9965]

It’s only took me 10 years to finally understand! Thanks 😁

Me too 😂😂😂

It's easy when you know!

My housemates and I have been FREEZING in our house at night because we couldn’t figure this UK system out. THANK YOU 🎉

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Glad to help 👍

[@sarahgtuj2544]

May God give you a long life dear. I never understood how to work this kind of a boiler and by watching this video once i have actually learned. Thank you so much. I wish i could give it thousand likes in one go.

[@GH-px8ri]

OMG THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS ON !! The new flat had no instructions for the combi boiler and it's usually like an oven or a fridge as it's either been just left ON or completely OFF !!

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Glad to help!

[@djc811]

I Have been looking after a friend's house whilst they are away and your vids on the Baxi duo have been invaluable, from the E119 error, to over filling to setting timer. Thank you

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

No problem Deborah, thanks for watching!

[@tanimowosunkanmi4028]

U're a genius! You just solved a problem that has dazzled me for 3 years!

[@kerryw123]

Thank you, it's been 3 years since I had my new boiler installed and have since then had no idea how this timer worked. Didn't realise that little switch in the middle was the issue the whole time!

[@jimbull4730]

Can I just say, thank you so much for his video. Have spent 8 hours plugging in a new nest (£200.00 - thought our thermo was broke), turns out we had it on timer on setting with all plugs up... now we have heating for the first time in 3 years...

[@jimbull4730]

And yes, I am a dope

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Great news, hopefully come in handy again now the temperature's dropped. Thanks for watching 👍

@@jimbull4730 if that's the case then so are the other 581,000 people who didn't know how to use. You're not alone!!

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Great news. Enjoy your warm house!

Starting getting condensation out of my mouth the other day and have come to you for sage advice, no nonsense and straight to the point, plus nice and clear, many thanks!

[@davidleyland3170]

Thank you so much , yet again, Pouse around the house At last it is all so clear. . Each switch =15 minutes. Switches OUT = timer ON Switches IN = timer OFF I'm writing this in November 2023. My boiler was installed in March 2014

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Glad to help 👍

[@daveyjones2215]

I've had mine installed for 6 years and just learned this,HAHAHA.Better late than never

[@rachgilmour5744]

Lived in this house for 2 years turning the heating off and on at the boiler, what a wolly... I didn't know how to use the dial and didn't think I would be able to find out. One night (tonight) in annoyance I turned to Google for help and there were free instructions... On how to fit it! Urgh and then came to KZbin and found this video! Thank you very much 😁

[@profiam]

Thank you! I am on my last day of holiday visiting Scotland and this AirBnB had no instructions for the heat! We are pretty used to cooler temperatures, and cooler homes, but feeling this right on the sea shore. Glad you made this. :)

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

This was very useful. My husband usually dealt with things like this but he's no longer with us so I have to work things out for myself. I looked at the manual and it says nothing at all about setting the timer - just a vague "some models have a timer which can be set manually." Now reset my timer & it's working fine. Thanks.

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Sorry to hear about your husband Elaine. I have plenty of DIY videos on my channel which maybe useful to you so please feel free to check out my channel. It's easy when you know how. Best of luck and keep on learning. Thanks for watching!

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

@@joeg6041 sounds like either no power to the timer or maybe the timer is broken. It should turn as long as the boiler has power and is turned on. Silly question but you have the clock set to timer on the switch in the middle?

@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE yeah, it was set in the middle, I've just done a little investigation, i turned it to the down setting and it just turns the boiler off, then i turned it to the top notch and it is moving now, so maybe my one is different? its bout to hit the mark where it should turn off, when it does or doesn't ill leave another comment.

[@catherineholland2711]

Hi, you said this turns the boiler to timer and off outside of set times. Does this mean the hot water is also off outside of those times or just the heating?

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Just the heating. As long as your boiler is switched on (main switch to the left) your hot water in taps will be working. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

This video was very useful thank you. I do have one quick question when setting the time as our clock is the same as that in the video; I want to set it for 7pm, which half is am and which half is pm? Is the pm times after the PM sign or before the pm sign, just a little confused.

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

The PM symbol is on the number 6 on the PM side, so it's in the middle of the pm side if that makes sense. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the video, I have a question and hope you can answer. The house has a thermostat, so I've switched the boiler time on for all 24 hours and manually increase/decrease the temperature for the radiator/house on the thermostat whenever needed. Does leaving the boiler set on for every hour affect the water in any way? Such as is it constantly heating water, or will my energy bills increase because of this? To add, there is an adjustment knob to increase/decrease both the radiators and water temp

[@darrenmckeown990]

Thanks. I have an old style British Gas smart linked thermostat which was installed by the previous owners of our house. Last winter I managed to get the timer working on the thermostat with our boiler fine but I tried to use it last week and for some reason the timer isn’t kicking in? Do you know if I need the clock switch switched to the on, off or timer position on the boiler clock? I’ve tried different combinations the last couple of days but with no joy? Any advice would be great

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

You need it on the clock for timer but you need to rotate the dial so the arrow is lined up with the current time.. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@El.mosquito.]

Thanks for the video. How the main switch (off, hot water, heating & water) should be set to have the programmed heating on?

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

I think you mean the switch on the boiler and not the timer? Just leave it turned to the tap and radiator symbol so both your central heating and taps will come on when required. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@llcooljsaad]

Hi, what do you have the dial set on when you are using the timer feature The one where it has taps, off or bars for level of heat. Thanks for the video by the way. I have been in my home for nearly two years and have never known how to use the timer displayed in the video.

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Hi Jay. The timer is only for the radiators, not your tap water. So generally with a combi boiler you just leave it on the setting with taps and bars. Your heating will only come on when you turn the heating on or the timer turns it on (it will only kick in when the room temp drops below the thermostat temperature). Tap water is only ever heated when you turn the tap on. That's how combi boilers work, so if the tap is turned on, it heats water instantly, unlike other boilers that heat a tank of water which can be used later. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@terenmistrz]

very good explain Thank u workin fine

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Thanks for your feedback. Glad your boilers all working and thanks for watching.

[@isham4682]

It saved our lives!! You are a rockstar

[@orlamcateer779]

Hi If I set the time as in your video, do I leave the dials showing ‘tap’ & ‘tap & water’ on constantly instead of off? What I mean is will there boiler constantly use the gas if times set and dial left to continuously on? I hope that makes sense

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

If you're referring to the tap water and central heating (usually radiator symbol) icons, then yes you can leave them on. Heating will only come on when timer turns it on. As for tap water, boiler will only come on when hot tap is turned on so that can stay on all the time. Best of luck with it.
