Hi
Is there a boiler that I can have installed that my mum can't meddle with? She lives alone and is forever turning off her heating and hot water at the boiler. Nothing I can say to her, or do (like taping up the controls) makes any difference. What with this and fiddling with radiators and the thermostat, the system's going haywire and constantly breaking down. Luckily she has a care package so they keep coming out to fix it, but it's time to get a new one, especially as they say we've got a cold winter ahead.
So - does anyone know of a boiler with concealed or lockable controls to defeat meddling fingers? Otherwise any new boiler will soon be as wrecked as the current one....
I know there are ways to take the controls off radiators and we can have a cage put over the thermostat, but those things will only help if she can also be stopped messing with the blasted boiler every 5 minutes...
