Wired Worcester Boiler Thermostat

Hi,
I am looking for a wired thermostat to work with a  Worcester boiler. Is there any brand/name you can recommend?

    Well, I am no expert, but it's a (programmable) controller that controls the boiler. Most likely, your boiler is compatible with various controllers.
    A  wired thermostat is just a temperature-operated switch connected to the controller and compatible with various controllers.

    Do you really mean a thermostat?


  • Model and type of boiler? And what controls it at the moment in terms of clock timings and room temps?

    We have inherited a Honeywell wired control system - but no thermostat - with old Worcester boiler in house we moved into in February. In previous house we had wired Honeywell thermostat with new Worcester Greenstar boiler. No complaints about either of them.

    If you want wired and liked your Honeywell go for the same again?
    If it's going to be a pain to run a wire then have a look at a programmable wireless room thermostat
    Sorry I can't think of anything profound, clever or witty to write here.

    Why do you want a wired thermostat? A wireless one would be much more convenient.

    What model of boiler do you have?
