Ottery St Mary
Heating timer clock updated for BST changes or new schedule programmed. Your heating comes on when you actually want it, not 2 hours late.
### Why Is the Heating Coming On at Weird Times?
Because the clock changed last March and you never updated it. **Tale as old as time.**
Modern heating programmers have more buttons than a space shuttle. The instruction manual is filed under "couldn't find it if my life depended on it." So the heating just comes on at increasingly random times as the seasons change.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If your heating programmer clock is wrong, every scheduled time is wrong by the same amount. Fix the clock, fix everything.

Good to Know
> 🔥 **Heating not coming on at all?** That's a different problem - could be thermostat, boiler fault, or power issue. Adjusting the programmer won't fix it. But I can diagnose it while I'm there. **Smart thermostats** (Nest, Hive, Tado) are usually easier to adjust via their apps than the physical device. But if you're not tech-savvy, I can show you the basics. **Mechanical dial timers** (old-school ones with pins you push in/out) are actually simpler than digital - just harder to set precisely. I can explain the logic.
Frequently Asked Questions about Clock change heating in Ottery St Mary
What heating programmers can you adjust?
Pretty much all of them - modern digital ones, older mechanical dial timers, smart thermostats, boiler-mounted programmers. They all have different button sequences, but I've seen most types. If it controls your heating, I can figure it out.
Can you set a completely new heating schedule?
Yes - whether you want different on/off times, weekday vs weekend schedules, or adjustments for working from home. Just tell me when you want the heating on and I'll program it in.
My heating programmer time is wrong but the heating schedule still works - does it matter?
Yes! If the clock says 2pm when it's actually 4pm, your heating is coming on 2 hours later than you programmed. That's usually why people call - heating not coming on when expected. Clock needs updating.
Do you need the instruction manual?
Helps if you have it, but not essential. Most heating programmers use similar logic. Worst case, I can Google the model while I'm there. But honestly, after doing hundreds of these, I can usually figure it out.
What's the difference between the boiler clock and the heating programmer?
Same thing usually - it's the controller that tells the boiler when to fire up. Could be on the wall (room thermostat with timer), on the boiler itself, or a separate programmer box. Whatever controls your heating schedule, I can adjust it.
