    Wireless Thermostat

    Got a new one today, and the boiler ain't firing up now. Got power at the receiver as the light is one but doesn't seem to anything going out, even when I press the manual over-ride. Not got a multimeter on me so can't check for voltage going out. Maybe faulty receiver. Anything else it could be?
