As we’ve seen, “smart boiler thermostats” come packed with a lot of high-end features like “self learning”, geo-fencing, high energy savings, WiFi and internet-based control, and more. All these features are really useful but they come with a high price tag as well. If you’re looking for an affordable modern thermostat, then WiFi enabled boiler thermostats are a good choice. Just like smart thermostats for boilers, these WiFi-enabled models are good to use as a gas boiler thermostat or as an oil boiler thermostat.
These models will have all those “essential new generation features” like voice control, WiFi connectivity, touch screen, smart home hub integrations, programming/scheduling via mobile apps, and a lot of other useful features, except high-end ones like “self-learning” or “auto programming”. The energy-saving rate of wireless thermostats wouldn’t be as high as a smart thermostat but you can expect anything in between 5% and 10%. The key highlight is affordable price compared to a smart thermostat model.
