Which Glow-worm control is best for my home?
Knowing what heating control is best for your home can be difficult due to their different purposes and functions. Our experts break down the different Glow-worm controls available to help manage your heating system more efficiently and which one best suits your lifestyle.
What is a Glow-worm control?
Glow-worm controls allow homeowners to decide how to plan and use their heating, whether it be setting fixed times to switch your heating on or monitoring external weather conditions, so the inside of your home is the perfect temperature.
Controls allow for greater management of your heating and can even help to keep your energy bills down as you’re not heating your home unnecessarily.
There is an array of Glow-worm controls to choose from that are compatible with our range of boilers. Each control has different capabilities on offer to suit your everyday needs.
What benefits do controls bring to your home?
Boiler controls are beneficial as they allow you to regulate the temperature of your home more precisely. This can lead to cost savings and reduce your environmental impact.
However, different homeowners will have different heating purposes, therefore the choice in controls will vary. For example, people who are just looking for a straightforward, non-connected control may opt to use the Climastat Select as it is simple to use. Whereas a more tech savvy homeowner may want to use a more app-based control like the MiGo Select thermostat and the MiGo Link internet gateway to manage their heating on their smart device.
