Worcester's next generation of heating controls

Worcester’s new FX controls series are now available to purchase.

The FX controls enhance the efficiency of the Greenstar CDi combi and system gas boilers and Greenskies solar panel systems. The series consists of:

The FR10 Intelligent Room Thermostat, to provide heating control with standard plug-in programmers

The FR110 Programmable Room Thermostat, which is designed to integrate solar installations with boiler controls.

The FW100 Weather Compensation Controller, developed to better integrate a Greenskies solar installation with a Greenstar boiler, offering weather compensation control and increased operating efficiency.

The ISM1 Intelligent Solar Module, which is designed to work in conjunction with the FR110 Programmable Room Thermostat and the FW 100 Weather Compensation Controller to enable the system to run the solar panels when the sun is out but will bring the boiler on if the weather deteriorates. This means the comfort of hot water is always guaranteed but with the preference to solar to pre-heat the water.

Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support at Worcester, comments: “Installers now have more options to help maximise the efficiency of any heating system, as these new controls are designed to work together to help solve the dilemma of water heating during the summer months.

“Maximising the efficiency of renewable technologies is vital and in years to come it will be more common for boilers and renewables to work side-by-side.”
