Understanding OpenTherm and Weather Compensation
OpenTherm
OpenTherm is a sophisticated communication protocol designed to enhance the control of your boiler. Unlike traditional on/off controls, OpenTherm allows the boiler to modulate its output based on real-time heating demand. This advanced modulation improves efficiency by reducing energy consumption and wear on the boiler. Additionally, it enhances comfort by maintaining a more consistent indoor temperature, ensuring a more stable and pleasant living environment.
Weather Compensation
Weather compensation technology intelligently adjusts your heating system according to changes in outdoor temperatures. By proactively modifying the heating output in response to weather conditions, it ensures that indoor temperatures remain stable and comfortable regardless of fluctuations outside. This approach not only enhances overall comfort but also leads to significant energy savings by minimising unnecessary heating and lowering your energy bills.
