Boiler Controls

Boiler Controls make a big difference to your heating system. With our condensing boilers already operating at peak efficiency, our range of controls gives you an additional way of boosting your system’s overall performance.

Worcester boiler controls give you the ability to precisely manage your system, as opposed to older controls which simply turn your boiler on and off. By completing your Worcester system with a matching Worcester control, you can fine tune your comfort levels while also reducing your gas usage, so that you only pay for what you need when you need it.

Options for everyone

Our easy to use controls include everything from traditional mechanical clock timers to internet-connected smart controls that can be managed from anywhere in the world. Simple mechanical clock timers switch your boiler on and off at the times you select, with the same times repeated every day. Digital controls give you more options, enabling you to set different times for different days of the week, which can be particularly useful for weekends.

Intelligent controls achieve considerable energy savings and therefore lower bills. As well as responding to your time settings, they include clever features such as an ability to monitor outdoor temperatures and adjust the boiler’s output to make it moire fuel-efficient.

The Wave, our new smart control, has even more control and efficiency features that can be operated remotely using a compatible smart device.

Timers and programmers

A boiler timer is a basic device that allows you to set specific times for your central heating system to come on and turn-off, with the same times typically repeated every day. A boiler programmer allows you to set your heating (and sometimes hot water) to switch on and off at different times, and on different days, so your boiler best suits your lifestyle.

Room thermostats

A room thermostat monitors the air temperature and enables you to set the level you find comfortable. If the room temperature drops below this level, the thermostat switches your boiler on and if gets too hot in the room, it turns it off.

Programmable room thermostats

A programmable room thermostat is both a boiler programmer and a room thermostat; it allows you to set different room temperatures for different times of the day and night. When programmed correctly, it prevents the system from having to heat your home from a cold start, with the boiler simply ‘topping up’ the temperature, which saves energy and improves comfort.We also offer a range of wireless programmable room thermostats. These are a good option if you prefer not to have wires running between your thermostat and boiler or if the boiler is not readily accessible, such as in a loft space or garage.

Load compensation

The load compensation feature adjusts the temperature of the heat going to your radiators. When a room is cold the temperature will be high, but as the room warms up and less heat is needed, it lowers the temperature so that comfort is maintained but energy use is reduced.

Weather compensation

The weather compensation feature also adjusts the temperature if the heat going to your radiators.l However, it does so in keeping with the outside temperature. An outdoor sensor or an internet location postcode search (Worcester Bosch Wave only) allows the control to monitor the weather, with the radiators running hotter if temperatures outside drop, ensuring a comfortable home.
