Reply Hey group, 1st post here. Found this message that Peter (see below) posted back in 2001 and wanted to say a big thank you. Not sure if you will see this Peter, but just like to say thanks very much for your post. The batteries died on my wireless thermostat and there were no instructions or manuals from the previous owner of the property. My system is labelled 'British Gas WR1 Wireless System' which is the sensor by the boiler and the thermostat is labelled 'British Gas RC1 Wireless System' I came home last night at 00:30 and found the display had died and after spending 15mins working out how to replace the batteries l then spent till 2am browsing the web to find out how you get the two units to talk to one another.
Random button pressing was not working!!! My search proved in vain as l could not come up with any posts to do with RC1 or WR1. I went to bed with an extra duvet at that point. At 7am this morning l just searched for 'wireless system' AND 'british gas' and your post came up. Once again thanks it has been a life saver. Now l don't need to sit in a telephone queue to BG.

Anyone know who made/makes this kit - it's unlikely to be BG themselves. Is it re-badged Honeywell, or something?

We got back from holiday last night to find that although the boiler was apparently working and fired up when the hot water was turned on, the central heating wasn't working. We'd had the problem about a year ago & called an engineer out so I knew that the problem was to do with the communication between the receiver and the room thermostat. We tried several times to fix it using the instructions (exactly as Peter describes below) but there seems to be a problem with the receiver itself. We don't get either a red or green light. I've seen in posts on other sites that this WR1 Receiver Unit is not particularly reliable so are wondering whether we need to replace it even though the system is less than 6 years old.
Does anybody know whether these units are easy to buy and/or install? If we really must call out British Gas we might as well do it sooner rather than later, but would prefer a cheaper solution if possible. Hey group, 1st post here.

And if you can't diy, have anyone but BG do it.

Our remote was also out of battery and needed resetting. All fine now. Very helpful thanks:) Carl. Reply replying to g00ner, Eleanor wrote: Hi Anyone that's out there.
My problem is similar to Nicholas but the display on my remote just comes on for about 3 seconds when I put new batteries in and then dies. So I think it is a problem with the remote itself. I've tried taking out the batteries and putting them back in several times now and the same thing always happens. I just tried do what Peter suggested (btw I think he means 'batteries' when he says 'drawers' and not sure how you're meant to put the right one in first as you wouldn't be able to get the left one in after that.so just inserted the batteries the only way possible) and It all started up.the screen on the remote lit up and.then 3 seconds later died again.
I thought I would give it one more try but. Now it seems that the receiver is stuck on Red light and won't do anything at all! So 1st Q is: has anybody else had my original problem - led display on remote blank - and found a way to sort it?
And 2nd Q: what happens if you do Peters step by step and it doesn't work and the Red light won't go off after - the receiver appears to have 'frozen and 3rd Q: why does this kind of thing happen only during a 'cold snap' any Answers would be most appreciated, Thanks Eleanor.
