I have a boiler that is temperemental . First sign of cold weather it packs in . Every year . It's about 4 yrs,. old , not a great age for a boiler but then , these days , how long are things suppose to last?.
Tonight it decided winters coming . The radiators were cold . With a sigh and a heavy heart I rang the plumber and left a message on his answer machine . Half hour later he rang me back . I explained I had a red light flashing on the alarm signal . "Tell me what the thermostat looks like and the name on it ." I duly followed his instructions , "Mmmm said he, have you any AA batteries " Yes I had , he explained where I had to dismantle it to replace the batteries . Hey bingo the heating came on . This man is a star . any other plumber it would have been a call out charge , a bit of head shaking , looking puzzled and then a hefty bill . Not so with Mr Ian Marriot his white van is always in our small village looking after our needs . I didn't even know the thermostat had batteries in . Once again I'm a happy woman .

Wow well done to your plumber. Most would have taken your eyes out then come back for the sockets.
We had a similiar problem. Turns out our termostat has batteries too. We checked the internet for possible issues and one site told me to check batteries. Woohoo, saved a visit.
What a nice plumber to have. Hope you dont have any more problems.
I'd be baking that nice plumber a cake by way of a 'thank you'!
Lucky you! We have a friend who helps us that way but I don't know any workmen who do.
What a lovely chap - it's so nice to hear that there are still people like that around to keep you nice and warm!
