What are the best settings for a Worcester combi boiler?
The best settings for any boiler are those matched to your daily routines. Setting your central heating for when you are at home is the most efficient way to heat it. There is some general advice that helps you use your boiler more efficiently.
To get the best from your Worcester Bosch boiler
- Adjust the heating to a comfortable temperature (typically between 18 and 23 degrees)
- Set the timer to turn the heating on at the times you are home
- Set the water temperature to between 60 and 65 degrees
Contrary to the belief that keeping your heating on low all the time is efficient, it is much better to have it on for the periods you are at home and awake. All boilers are fitted with time-controlled thermostats, so you can set heating around your routines.
Setting the boiler controls
There are variations between models, but most Worcester combi boiler thermostats work by selecting the hours you want the radiators on from a 24-hour clock, then setting the temperature. Turning your heating down by even one degree can reduce energy consumption noticeably, so it is worth thinking about what temperature you need to feel comfortable. In winter, most people set heating around 18 to 21 degrees, or 21 to 23 for those who feel the cold more.
Heat your home from the palm of your hand
Smart thermostats let you control your heating remotely from a mobile app, including setting the temperature of different rooms. Even if your plans change, you can adjust your settings so you rarely waste energy. Smart heating technology is by far the most efficient and convenient way of heating your home.
