Boiler Controls

Boiler controls are relatively simple to install and are normally done when a boiler change occurs. 

What are smart heating controls

SMART stands for “Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology”, but what exactly is it that makes a ‘smart’ thermostat smart?

Well, while a standard run-of-the-mill boiler thermostat offers some basic functions like switching the heating on and off, timer settings and some rudimentary temperature controls, a SMART thermostat lets you manage every minute of your home’s heating schedule from the palm of your hand, through a tablet or smartphone.

So you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your sofa to be in complete control.

Practical and easy to use

Boiler controls are relatively simple to install and are normally done when a boiler change occurs.


The controls can be configured to allow you to systematically set the time of day each of your radiators turns on, so you don’t waste energy heating whole areas of your home that aren’t being used. Boiler controls also give you the power to select the time to turn on your hot water, no one likes a cold shower and your controls can certainly help eliminate this nasty surprise.

The different types of boiler controls

As mentioned above, normally your controls are changed at a time when you replace your boiler. But, you can also do this at any time. Here at Green World Installations, our gas safe engineers are available to assist in any questions that you may have around this. 


  • Simple Boiler Controls – traditional manual clock controls that can be set for 24-hour periods.
  • Digital Boiler Controls – allow you to set on/off heating times on a 7-day programming schedule that fits around your lifestyle.
  • Intelligent Boiler Controls – great for saving energy as they tell you how long it takes to heat up and cool down your home as well as external temperatures. 
  • Internet Connected Boiler Controls – controlled by an App on your smart device, smart thermostat’s are highly intelligent. Among other functions, they learn from your systems behaviour, use live weather data and keep track of your fuel usage.
