Not all heating engineers can do the complicated wiring on heating controls. He is right to tell you to get an experienced electrician to do the work for you xx

When your boiler comes on, and the gas ignites O.K., then the 2 wires are probably for the automatic ignition system.

The room thermostat you have may have to be changed, it most likely has four wires to it. You would need a stat with three wires.
Either that or your cylinder stat needs changing.
