Therefore, owners of wall-mounted gas boilers are increasingly thinking about saving issues. In general, modern gas boilers are quite economical and heating an apartment or country house is quite cheap compared to similar services commercial organizations. In this article we will look at what factors influence efficiency gas boiler using BAXI as an example.
Coolant temperature
Proper regulation of the coolant temperature will directly affect gas savings. In the basic configuration, boilers are mostly not equipped with an outdoor temperature sensor, so throughout heating season the user must independently select the coolant temperature depending on weather changes: either increase or decrease.
This is not entirely convenient, especially since Baxi boilers allow you to connect a sensor as an option. In this case, the term weather-compensated automation can also be used. Then, regulation will occur automatically depending on the climate curve selected in the boiler settings, and the boiler will waste less energy on useless heating, which will lead to gas savings.
Boiler clocking
Clocking is the frequency of switching on equipment for heating the coolant. If the baxi are not connected to the boiler external devices control, the interval between turning on the boiler can be set to a maximum of 10 minutes (default 3 minutes).
For example, for the BAXI ECO FOUR boiler, configuration parameter F11 is responsible for this. Burner waiting time between two starts.
Frequent switching on is not economical - the more time the boiler operates continuously, the better. On one of the forums, a user expressed concern about long-term continuous work boiler, but this, on the contrary, means that a regime has been established in which there is continuous compensation for heat losses in the room while maintaining optimal temperature coolant.
This problem is most pressing for owners small apartments, because the boiler is initially intended, including for cooking hot water and obviously more power.
Since the configuration parameter numbers of gas boilers may differ, to configure a specific model you need to study the instructions.
How to set a Baxi boiler to economical mode?
For small apartments, it is recommended to set parameters F08 (Maximum net power of the heating system) and F10 (Minimum net power of the heating system) to a minimum. The modulation range of a 24 kW boiler starts at 40% of maximum power, so the minimum possible mode work will be 9 kW, which will be quite enough to heat an area of up to 80 square meters. meters and will increase the intervals between switching on, especially in the off-season period.
In addition to saving gas, do not forget that each burner activation involves the main actuators, relay switching on the control board, fan, gas valve, which certainly affects their service life.
Here it is worth mentioning that the most economical mode of a gas boiler will be when operating at maximum power, i.e. with maximum efficiency.
Connecting a room thermostat
Most Baxi boiler models have the ability to connect a room thermostat. The idea is that the boiler will turn on only by a signal from the thermostat when the air temperature in the room drops below the set one.
Of course, everything is quite individual, and a lot depends on the type and balance of the heating system as a whole, and using only one room thermostat will have a certain inertia.
Programmable thermostats allow you to flexibly set different temperatures throughout the day. Reducing the room temperature by 1 degree throughout the year will result in gas savings of about 4-5%.
In some EU countries, where energy efficiency issues are more meticulous, installing a room thermostat is a mandatory requirement.
Zonal control system
Such a system provides for individual temperature control in each room separately by installing controlled thermal heads on each radiator. That is, depending on the air temperature in a particular room, the amount of coolant in the radiator will be regulated, and the boiler will turn on only when necessary. The use of such regulation will provide maximum savings (about 30%) and comfort in the room. The only disadvantage of such a system is its cost.
Savings and regular equipment maintenance
The basic structure of a traditional gas boiler is almost the same, regardless of the manufacturer. Thermal energy from combustion of gas is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchanger. There can be either one or two heat exchangers in the boiler. During operation of any gas boiler, the heat removal surface becomes contaminated with soot deposits from the outside and scale from the inside.
From practice, we can say that it is extremely rare that the system is filled with special prepared water or the water supply system is equipped with a water treatment system. Especially it concerns apartment buildings, in which owners receive ready-made system heating along with the apartment.
The formation of scale and soot on the walls of the heat exchanger will gradually reduce the heat transfer performance, and more energy will be consumed for heating.
Therefore, the annual regular Maintenance will definitely affect the efficiency of equipment operation in better side! This especially applies to boilers with bithermic heat exchangers, which are meant structural device difficult to wash.
Baxi boilers - great choice for autonomous heating systems. They are distinguished by increased comfort, varied automation and ease of use. Any additional equipment can be connected to the boiler. An example is programmers, or room thermostats for Baxi gas boilers.
Advantages of Baxi boilers
Main 24 Fi 24 kW
The advantages of Baxi gas boilers are obvious, and the capabilities of such units are multifaceted. We list only the main advantages of such boiler equipment:
- Connectivity additional elements, sensors and automation systems.
- The ability to automatically change temperature conditions depending on the temperature delta outside and at home.
- Economical operation.
- “Smart” self-diagnosis systems.
- The possibility of using the unit not only in traditional heating networks, but also in the “warm floor” system.
Additional accessories
Note! Most models are equipped as standard with built-in electronics, control systems and a variety of sensors. Installing additional accessories makes operation easier, making it simpler, more convenient and more efficient.
Additional accessories open whole line capabilities for equipment management:
- Temperature regulation according to time of day and time of year.
- Setting the temperature in different rooms.
- Work in economy mode.
All this reduces gas consumption, which means it makes the system energy efficient and its operation economical. Paradoxically, most consumers refuse to install additional equipment for reasons of economy. Of course, the installation of these devices will increase the cost of the system. But on the other hand, it will save on heating bills.
Installation pays off additional devices already in the first two heating seasons. So accessories to gas boilers Baxi is not only additional comfort, but also significant savings fuel.
Variety of accessories
Accessories and additional equipment To Baxi boilers There are many on the market. We list the main ones:
Clear display
- Digital timer. The device allows you to program the work utility networks for a certain period. When using it, the boiler will turn on/off at the time specified by the consumer. You can use this device not only for programming heating, but also for boilers.
- Room thermostat, or thermostat. This device maintains the set temperature and allows you to control the microclimate. A boiler equipped with a programmer will operate in automatic mode. In this case, no intervention from the consumer in the operation of the unit is required.
- Outdoor temperature sensor. To maintain heat in the house, it is necessary to take into account the temperature of the outside air. The delta (difference) between room and street temperatures directly determines the power with which the boiler must operate. Sensor outside temperature allows you to maintain a constant mode no matter what the weather is outside the window.
- Sensor room temperature. It is recommended to install it together with the device described above. Both devices, working in pairs, guarantee the so-called self-adaptation of the boiler.
- Digital control panel. This is a real highlight. You can install it in convenient location. With its help, not only control, but also diagnostics of the system occurs. This device can be used in conjunction with the programmer or separately from it.
These are not all the accessories that can be connected to Baxi indoor gas boilers. You should dwell in more detail on the most common device - a thermostat, or thermostat.
Why do you need a thermostat?
Suitable thermostat
In essence, a thermostat is a device that allows you to regulate the temperature in a room automatically. It can be argued that it is easy to regulate the operating modes of the boiler without automation, that is, manually. At the same time, the thermostat becomes an unnecessary luxury, attracting extra costs funds. Let's consider the pros and cons of installing such accessories.
When gas boilers operate, the microclimate in the premises is controlled by changing the temperature of the coolant. When the set value is reached, the boiler turns off, and when it decreases, it turns on again. When outside temperatures change, it is necessary to change the parameters of the heating system, and this must be done manually. As a result, intervention in the operation of boiler equipment is required throughout the heating season.
The time and attention required by the boiler when manual adjustment his work is not the best important issues. In this mode, frequent starts/shutdowns of the boiler occur, which is not the most in the best possible way affects its performance, and the reliability of the system as a whole. There is one more problem. When the boiler is operating in constant on/off mode circulation pump continues to function. Being an energy consumer, it increases electricity costs, which increases financial costs for heating. Not to mention negative impact for the operation of the system.
As you can see, manual control for a high-tech gas boiler - not the best the best option. Now let's look at what the thermostat can change. The device has room temperature sensors that monitor the temperature not of the water in the system, but of the air in the rooms. As a result, the boiler is switched on/off when deviating from the set temperature regime, and not when the water heating decreases.
The frequency of starts/shutdowns is significantly reduced. When programming the device, you can set the optimal threshold for triggering such a sensor. In addition, you can set a delay time for turning on or off the boiler when the sensors are triggered. This will minimize the likelihood of starting the heating device during a short-term drop in temperature, for example, as a result of a draft.

As practice shows, installing a programmer allows you to save 25–30% of energy. The device does not allow excessive fuel consumption. When the boiler is turned off, the circulation pump is automatically turned off, which saves energy. All this speaks in favor of installing room thermostats.
The return on investment for such accessories is beyond doubt. Present on the market various models thermostats, differing not only in technical parameters, but also in price. Finding the optimal accessory is not difficult. Examples include thermostats TAM0 11MI, Menred RTC 70, Raychem TE Basic, DEVIreg Touch, Nest, domestic MCS 300, etc.
Central thermostat
This type of programmer is installed in the house and connected to the heating device either by wires or via wireless networks. The latter are more expensive, but more convenient and effective.
The main advantage of wireless thermostats is the ability to install them anywhere. At the same time, they do not disturb the interior, and their installation does not require any complex devices or destruction building structures. The case is attached using self-tapping screws, after which all the necessary electronics are connected and the necessary parameters are set. Such a device can operate remotely. It can be used not only with gas, but also with solid fuel boilers.
Installation Rules
Room regulator
Installation of central thermostats is simple. But it is necessary to adhere to several rules in order not to interfere with the efficiency of the system in the future:
- The regulator is mounted in such a way as to ensure free air flow.
- There should be no household electrical appliances, lamps, touch switches, additional heaters, etc. nearby.
- The thermostat must be freely accessible.
Additional options
The main function of thermostats is temperature control. For greater efficiency, the devices have additional options:
- Possibility of turning off the heating for several hours, for example, when there are no people in the house for a long time.
- Possibility of temporarily changing all programmed operating modes.
- Possibility of changing the temperature on certain days.
The benefits of installing a thermostat are obvious. The payback of the devices is also beyond doubt. Nevertheless, the desire to save money on installing such useful device still remains strong. This often encourages home DIYers to do everything themselves. And not only to install the device yourself, but also to assemble it from scrap materials.
Installation process
Theoretically, it is possible to make a thermostat with your own hands. To do this, you will need a thermistor that reduces resistance when heated. Then another resistor is connected to the network, with the help of which the temperature will be programmed. The 2I-NOT element will operate in inverter mode, and voltage will be supplied to it. A capacitor is connected to it and to the trigger. To control the relay, the galvanic isolation on the triac is enhanced. The device can be made either on a mole rat or on a printed circuit board.
Using such a simple circuit, you can assemble a thermostat for almost any boiler. But is it worth interfering with the operation of high-tech equipment? It is up to the home owner to decide. Experts do not advise experimenting with homemade devices, especially since you can choose accessories for any boiler on the market.
In order not to make a mistake in choosing a programmer and purchase suitable model, just stick to it simple tips specialists:
Features of choice
- It is advisable that the boiler and its accessories are manufactured by the same manufacturer.
- Powerful models heating equipment can be used with any programmer options.
- Before purchasing, you should calculate the necessary technical specifications, otherwise there is a high probability of equipment downtime.
- If it is necessary to install a device of a high power class, it may be necessary to change the wiring, so it is better to consult a specialist.
Any doubts left? You can always buy a cheap model with minimum set functions and options. Its operation will clearly show how feasible it is to install expensive additional accessories.
Conclusion
Additional accessories for Baxi gas boilers are not a luxury, but an opportunity to make the heating system energy efficient in the full sense of the word. Installing just one room thermostat can reduce heating costs by approximately 25–30%.
Thermostat is a thermoregulating device that is responsible for control of boiler operation depending on air temperature.
There are thermostats indoor and outdoor(street). Sensors can also be used for the street.
Gas Baxi equipment has the ability to connect both indoor and outdoor thermostats and sensors.
Room appliances have a greater impact on tactfulness(turning on and off) the boiler, and outdoor ones allow the unit to regulate coolant temperature. The air temperature outside and in the house is constantly changing, and the thermostat helps increase or decrease gas consumption for space heating.
Types of thermostats for Baxi gas boilers
Devices for Baxi are thermostats compatible with gas boilers of the Italian brand.
In terms of their functions, they do not differ from systems for other gas equipment. Typically, thermostats are distinguished by:
- installation location;
- operating principle;
- control method.
Depending on the location of installation, devices are divided into indoor and outdoor. Indoor ones are used more often than outdoor or street ones, as they do not require protection from difficult weather conditions.
Street options are used in cases where the owner of the house strives to make the operation of the equipment as accurate and economical as possible. The combination is especially effective in such cases room thermostat and outdoor sensor, which Baxi units allow.
According to the principle of operation, the thermostat can be mechanical or electronic. In the first case You must manually set the air temperature. In the second— a program is installed according to which the boiler changes its operating intensity automatically.
Control method mechanical thermostat is manual installation regime turning the knob or pressing the buttons. The electronic or programmable option can operate remotely. In this case, the sensor is located in any part of the room, and control occurs from the remote control, computer or phone. At the same time, contact with gas equipment remains wired.

How to choose a Baxi thermostat
Thermostats and sensors for Baxi gas boilers produced by the Italian company itself, so it’s best to choose them. If this is not possible, you need to look for a thermostat that matches the parameters that are usually specified in technical data sheets of devices. In such cases, it is appropriate to consult a specialist who is well acquainted with the Baxi brand.
Attention! Check carefully compatibility thermostat with the gas boiler for which it is purchased. Remember that devices one company interact best with each other.
When choosing a thermostat, it is necessary to consider whether the boiler is used constantly or only occasionally. If the house has an inexpensive model of the unit that rarely works, then it is enough a simple controller with a minimum of functions.
And vice versa, if heating and hot water are needed all year round and an expensive unit model is used, it is better to install a programmable thermostat.
And if the cottage is involved system " smart House» , then the ability to control the device via the Internet will be very useful.
This feature is implemented in most advanced models.
Calculation technical requirements to the thermostat is made based on the requirements for the operation of the boiler. For example, if the owners go to work in the morning and return only in the evening, it will be suitable thermostat with programmer, which will reduce the heating temperature and fuel consumption while no one is in the house.
And also, if the house is geographically located in a cold region, then it is better to purchase a thermostat with frost protection for the system: it automatically turns on the boiler if the air temperature drops up to +3°C. Such technical characteristics has, for example, room thermostat Baxi Magictime Plus.

Where to post
An important condition proper operation of thermostats is precise measurement air temperature. Although all devices have errors up to several degrees, it can be minimized.
For this room thermostat you need to install away from drafts and at a considerable distance from heating devices.
It is better to install the outdoor sensor so that it is not flooded with rain or covered with snow. These precautions are due to the fact that more accurate sensor indicators, those work more efficiently boiler and lower fuel consumption.
What materials are needed for connection
Connection materials are usually supplied with the thermostat. This is, first of all, the device itself, as well as installation cable and fasteners. With their help, the device is connected to a gas boiler and fixed to the wall.
What tools are required for installation
To connect the thermostat you may need:
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- side cutters;
- thermometer.
Side cutters You can strip the ends of the thermostat wires, but as a rule they already have terminals that are screwed to the contacts of the gas boiler for the remote thermostat.
A drill is needed for the holes in the wall into which the dowels are installed. They get twisted in screws, on which the device is attached. Need for dowels disappears if the wall is wooden.
A thermometer will be needed to check the air temperature after starting the thermostat.
Connection procedure
During the connection period, both devices should not work. To connect the thermostat and gas boiler, you need to study technical passports both devices and follow the wiring diagrams and instructions. The ends of the cable for the thermostat must be attached to the designated gas boiler contacts.
Then the cable must be pulled along the wall to the location where the thermostat is installed. After this, at the selected point (usually it is in the coldest living room), the device is screwed to the wall. Finally, it is carried out setting up and checking the device.
How to check the operation of the device
To test the device, you must set the maximum temperature. Then you need to turn on the gas boiler and bring it to mode with maximum efficiency(efficiency).
Upon reaching comfortable temperature you need to accurately measure it next to the thermostat and set it as a threshold for turning off.
Then within an hour you need to monitor whether the thermostat turns on the heater when the air cools down within 0.5-2 °C. If this happens, then the devices are working correctly.
