What is a ‘combi’ boiler?
A ‘combi’ or combination boiler is a high efficiency water
heater and a central heating boiler combined (hence the name)
within one compact unit. Water is heated directly from the
mains eliminating the need for a hot water storage cylinder and
the associated cold water storage cistern in the roof space.
Because your hot water is delivered to your taps or shower at

please visit www.worcester-bosch.co.uk

Heating controls – what are the differences?

The majority of heating systems have at least two controls: a timer clock or programmer
and room thermostat. In fact, this is the minimum level of electrical controls specified by
the Building Regulations for the installation of all boilers and is a legal requirement.

• A timer or programmer operates the heating system to turn on for set periods of time.
Dial and digital controls can be either wall-mounted near to the boiler or attached to
the fascia panel of the boiler. It will take at least 30 minutes for your home to reach
the desired temperature when the boiler fires up, depending on insulation levels and
the outside temperature. The main difference between the two controls is a timer will
operate the system at the same times every day whilst a programmer allows different
heating times for different days of the week to suit your lifestyle.

• A room thermostat controls the air temperature and is usually positioned in the hall or
landing. The thermostat can be analogue or digital. It should be sited away from direct
sunlight and clear of curtains and furniture. As a guideline, your thermostat should be set
between 18ºC-21ºC for comfort temperature and 10ºC-12ºC for economy temperature.

• A programmable room thermostat allows you to programme the temperature levels to

alter according to different times of the day and night. When programmed correctly, this
type of control prevents the system having to heat the house from a “cold start”. The
control always maintains a temperature within the property (as decided by the user).
This ensures that the boiler is only ever “topping up” the temperature in the home.

Mechanical timers
MT10 mechanical timer

• Simple installation
• No need for a separate room thermostat.
Digital and wireless programmers and room thermostats

DT20 twin channel digital programmer

• Plugs into the boiler fascia panel and is pre-set to current time, date and day
• Adjusts automatically in line with British summer time
• Three separate time periods for both heating and hot water
• Use either the built-in pre-set programmes, or choose your own settings.

• Features simple set-up
• Set up to three different time periods a day
• Room thermostat provides the temperature control
• Benefits from no wiring required
• Twin-channel facility times the domestic hot water function.
DT10RF digistat
• 24-hour programmable room thermostat
• Set different temperatures for up to six different time periods.
• No separate room thermostat is required

• Set different temperatures for up to six different time periods for each day of the week
• As a radio frequency device, it offers the benefits of no wiring
• No separate thermostat necessary.

Intelligent controls

FR10 intelligent room thermostat

• Intelligent room thermostat that enables load compensation
• Offers further energy savings compared to standard on/off controls.
(Load compensation means that, rather than just switching the boiler on and off, it will adjust the
flow temperature of the central heating water in line with set heating temperature requirements.
The smaller the difference between the actual temperature and the set-point temperature, the lower
the flow temperature from the boiler.)

FR110 programmable room thermostat

• Intelligent programmable room thermostat
• Load compensation for heating and time control of hot water systems
• Like the FR10 but with the added benefit of built-in programming
• Six weekly heating and hot water programmes, with six switching points per day.

FW100 weather compensation controller

• Weather compensation controller
• Anticipates changes in heating demand in relation to external temperatures
• Comprises a programmable indoor unit and an external sensor
• The indoor unit can be fascia-mounted or wall-mounted remotely
• Factory-set heat curves for use with radiators, underfloor heating and fan convectors.

ISM1 intelligent solar module

• The ISM1 integrates a solar heating system with the FW100 or FR110
• It enables the hot water system to take heat from the solar panels
when appropriate or use the boiler
• Ensures the user gains maximum benefit from solar heating.

Worcester offers two types of Greenstore unvented hot water storage cylinder.
The SC (single-coil) range is designed for use with Greenstar Regular or System
boilers with a traditional radiator or underfloor system. Greenstar TC (twin-coil)
cylinders have been developed specifically for use with Greenskies solar water
heating systems. When used together, a combination of Greenstar and Greenskies
appliances can provide a full system solution for the provision of heating and hot
water comfort.

Greenstore cylinders are highly insulated to reduce hot water heat loss,
addressing the growing demand of homeowners for reduced energy costs
and lower carbon emissions.

Greenstore cylinder features and benefits:

• Rapid re-heat – hot water quickly available
• 65mm insulation – outstanding heat retention and economical to run
• Duplex Stainless Steel construction – guaranteed for 25 years*
• Wide range of cylinder capacities – suitable for properties and systems of all sizes
• Fully compliant with current legislation – allows funding to be gained from the
Renewable Heat Incentive.

 The Worcester CondenseSure –
eliminating the risk of
frozen condensate.
All condensing boilers produce condensate which has to be discharged
from the property. In the majority of cases, it will be possible to do
this internally, but in some circumstances the location of the boiler means
that the condensate pipe has to be routed externally or in an unheated
area, with the possible risk of freezing in extreme weather conditions.

The Worcester CondenseSure is an innovative solution to freezing

condensate that can be installed with any condensing boiler. Unlike
other products designed to prevent freezing, the CondenseSure
requires no electrical connection and has no moving parts.

The CondenseSure features and benefits:

• No power consumption – zero running costs
• No moving parts – no failure of components
• Can be installed in new and existing installations –
suitable for all Greenstar gas and oil boilers.

The Worcester Greenstar System Filter –

protecting your heating system.
Modern condensing boilers are precision-engineered and designed to
run with a clean water-heating system. Over time, dirty system water
will develop, damaging a boiler and its components, causing failures,
shortening the life of the overall system and dramatically reducing the
efficiency of the boiler.

A highly effective solution

The Worcester Greenstar System Filter has been specifically designed
to combat the damaging effects of system debris and pollutants,
protecting the boiler and heating system for a fraction of its cost.

At the centre of its innovative design is a powerful magnet that removes

the magnetic debris that is present in the heating system water. The central
location of the magnet ensures that the debris is collected quickly and
retained. Any non-magnetic debris is caught by the twin-action cyclonic
trap, maximising overall protection.

Greenstar System Filter features and benefits

• Highly effective – safeguards the boiler against damage and can save
up to 6% a year on energy bills*
• Prevents blockages in radiators – a warmer home and quieter system
The filter can be fitted under or away from • Twin action – effective against magnetic and non-magnetic system debris.
