Which Glow-worm control is best suited for my home?

Installing a thermostat in your home is a great way of controlling your heating and hot water needs. They help to maintain a constant temperature across your home without having to adjust the settings on your boiler each time.

With numerous types of boiler controls available, knowing which ones are best can be tricky. In this blog, we’re breaking down Glow-worm thermostats to see how they differentiate and which one is best suited to your lifestyle.

If you want to know more about the different types of thermostats, check out our ‘What heating control is right for my home’ blog.

What is a Glow-worm control?

Glow-worm controls give homeowners the opportunity to decide how their heating system is used, with options such as setting fixed times, accounting for external weather conditions, or making sure your heating doesn’t turn on when you're away from home.

This allows for greater control and customisation of heating and can even help to keep your energy bills down as you’re not heating your home unnecessarily.

There are over six Glow-worm controls to choose from that are all compatible with our range of boilers. Each control has something different to offer to suit your everyday needs.

Why is it relevant in your home?

The type of control you choose for your home will depend on what features are important to you, as each control option offers different features.

Some Glow-worm controls allow you to prioritise which rooms you wish to heat. At night, it’s likely you want your living room area to be warmer than your kitchen.

For example, digital controls may appeal to a tech savvy individual as these can be integrated into their smart homes like Glow-worms MiGo control, whereas people who are looking for a more easy-to-use device might look at our straightforward controls, for instance, our Climastat Select.
