For system boilers, you’ll need to consider the space required for a hot water cylinder to be installed. However, there are alternatives out there that are more suitable if space is at a premium. The extra level of control is a huge plus side to the Wave.Ĭoming in at 760x440x360mm, the 30CDi isn’t designed for a kitchen cupboard. With the installation of a smart thermostat, you would see an improvement in your energy usage (in the form of lower bills) and enhanced energy efficiency. The Wave, a lot like the Nest, is a self-learning device, which alters your heating schedules based on your temperature settings and schedule.

If a smart thermostat is on your list and you’d like to update your central heating system, Worcester Bosch’s smart thermostat, the Wave, allows you to control your heating and set schedules from your smartphone. It’s essential to have full (and precise) control of your boiler, which is why we recommend the Greenstar Comfort thermostat if you want to venture down the programmable thermostat route. You could opt for a mechanical thermostat which gives you basic temperature controls, although you may risk wasting energy and the temperature settings could be inaccurate. Worcester Bosch offers a range of controls which will enable you to schedule temperature changes, as well as setting your preferred room temperature. The control panel will give you the most basic control of your central heating system, so if you’d like to take full advantage of your boiler, you’d better off installing either a programmable or smart thermostat. The 30CDi onboard controls include an on/off switch, temperature settings for hot water and heating, and a small LED display for faults.
