What are the different types of boiler controls?
Boiler controls and thermostats are devices that regulate the temperature in your home. They allow you to set a desired temperature, and then use sensors to monitor the room temperature, turning the heating on and off to maintain that temperature.
Smart thermostats and digital controls are two types of boiler controls and thermostats.
- Smart thermostats: Smart thermostats are internet-connected devices that can be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet. They can also learn your heating habits and automatically adjust the temperature based on your schedule. Some smart thermostats can even detect when you’re away from home and turn the heating off automatically, helping you to save energy.
- Digital controls: Digital controls are more basic than smart thermostats but still provide improved temperature control over traditional dial-type thermostats. Digital controls usually have a simple interface and allow you to set the temperature and control the heating manually.
