Hive Thermostat for Heating with Hive Hub (Combi Boiler) - Energy Saving Thermostat – to highlight the boiler needed is a combi boiler

Product Information

When you buy a Hive thermostat, you have the option to pay a little extra for professional installation. We’ll then arrange for one of our expert partner engineers to pop over and install it all for you. It doesn’t matter if you have a Worcester Bosch boiler or a Vailant combi boiler – our partners have been carefully trained and know how to safely work with any make or model.

Our smart thermostat doesn’t require you to replace your boiler. And although we’re a member of the British Gas family, our Hive boiler controls have been designed to work just as well with any brand – from a Glow-worm boiler to a Vailant boiler and everything in between. Hive Active Heating is compatible with most boilers, but it is incompatible with the following models: Our Hive thermostats will also work just as well with most oil boilers as long as it currently has a conventional thermostat or programmer. This includes solid fuel boilers (such as biomass systems and coal), and some Worcester Intelligent Appliance boilers and Worcester combi boilers. The following list of boilers aren’t compatible with any external heating controls apart from Worcester’s own TR2 room thermostat.If you have a gas combi boiler, which controls both your heating and hot water, Hive can work with that too.

Here at Hive, we frequently get asked whether smart thermostats work with different types of boilers. It’s an important and understandable question – no-one wants to spend money on something they can’t actually use. So in this article we’re going to answer it with the attention and detail it deserves.

If your electric boiler works with a standard room thermostat or programmer, then Hive can control it. However, our smart thermostat can’t control storage heaters or individual plug-in electric room heaters. Our smart thermostats works with most UK gas-powered central heating systems. It also works with most Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) central heating systems, too.
