    For a self install the suppliers will sort you out with prices. If getting it done by a registered installer look here for someone close to you.

    The GSM alone costs €320. Shop around is the best option.

    Last question (promise :P) can the same GSM unit be used to text the oil heating to come on / control it? Or is that a different kettle of fish?

    It can. It switches an output so you will need to add a relay.
    If its remote control you want it for the Siemens 4320 might suit your needs better .It has a built in web server which lets you do anything remotly. You can also control multiple devices using X10. Much more straight forward and expandable.

    Didn't use the wifi just the:

    £16.00 arduino deuminilove,http://13cm.co.uk/shop/arduino-compatable/arduino-duemilanove/prod_53.html[/URL]

    £10.99 ENC28J60 Ethernet shield http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arduino-duemilanove-UNO-Ethernet-Shield-work-ENC28J60-RJ45-LAN-Webserver-/170702819859?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopComponents_RL&hash=item27beae5213

    It all fitted in a twin surface socket box.
