The “Wave” by Worcester Bosch
The Worcester Wave is an internet connected thermostatic heating control for central heating and hot water and can be operated using a smart device. It’s innovative programming enables it to have an ‘intelligent conversation’ with the boiler and take advantage of advanced control features such as weather and load compensation. The programmer’s intuitive and modern design ensures it is very simple to operate using either its built-in touch screen or via the wave app. Users simply download the Wave app to their compatible device to take control of the heating system from anywhere providing an internet connection is available. There are no subscription fees or chargeable app add-ons, therefore updates to the app software are completely free of charge.
The Wave’s advanced programming enables it to have an ‘intelligent conversation’ with the boiler to take advantage of control features such as weather and load compensation. This ensures that the boiler modulates its performance to meet the needs of each household, providing the optimum balance of comfort and efficiency.
The Wave app allows you to see a chart of your heating and hot water usage so that you can easily identify where potential savings could be made. For example, when you turn your room temperature down a leaf symbol will appear to indicate additional savings are being made.
ErP legislation: According to the ErP Directive (Energy-related Products Directive) the Wave is a Class VI control, the highest class amongst their range of controls, and therefore can improve system efficiency by up to 4% (resulting in lower fuel bills).
