What controls do I need with a high efficiency boiler?
Good heating controls require a minimum of four things:
an electronic timer or programmer that allows separate switching of heating and hot water
a room thermostat
thermostatic radiator control valves (TRVs), and
separate thermostatic control on the hot water system
Additional controls that may be worth considering to get the very best from a central heating system include intelligent heating controls, a weather compensator, a boiler energy manager and full zone control.
These are all explained on our page about Modern Central Heating Controls.

In all cases, check that your installer has recent qualifications in energy efficiency. Gas Safe Register or OFTEC can confirm this. If the installation is for an oil-fired boiler, an alternative would be to ask your installer if they hold a Certificate in Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating or an equivalent qualification.
