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.
Baxi gas 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 gas Baxi 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 is inexpensive model unit that works rarely, 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.

An important condition Correct operation of thermostats requires accurate measurement of air temperature. Although all devices have errors up to several degrees, it can be minimized.
To do this, the room thermostat must be installed away from drafts and at a considerable distance from heating devices.
Street sensor It is better to install it so that it does not get 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 gas boiler for 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 maximum efficiency mode(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.

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. Installation additional accessories facilitates operation, 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 economical 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.
The installation of additional devices pays for itself within the first two heating seasons. So accessories to gas boilers Baxi is not only additional comfort, but also significant fuel savings.
Variety of accessories
There are a lot of accessories and additional equipment for Baxi boilers 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 manually adjusting its operation is not the most important issues. In this mode, frequent starts/shutdowns of the boiler occur, which does not have the best effect on its performance, and on 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 expenses 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 is not the most the best option. Now let's look at what the thermostat can change. The device has room temperature sensors that monitor the temperature of the air in the rooms rather than the water in the system. As a result, the boiler is switched on/off when there is a deviation 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.
Model TAM011MI Seitron
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. There are various models of thermostats on the market, 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 heating device either by wires or using 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, if 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 of heating equipment can be operated 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 purchase a cheap model with a minimum set of 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 only one room thermostat allows you to reduce heating costs by about 25–30%.

One of the most important indicators in a heating system is the temperature of the coolant. To measure it, special NTC sensors are used to detect changes electrical resistance. These devices are capable of taking readings thanks to inverse relationship their resistance to temperature hot water. The higher the degree, the lower the resistance, becoming zero when it reaches 100°C.
The Baxi boiler temperature sensor is directly connected to the main control board, which changes its parameters based on its indicators. In our warehouse you can find any types of temperature sensors. Whatever equipment you have, we will select high-quality and compatible spare parts for it.
Depending on the type of heating equipment, thermostats for the Baxi boiler are placed either directly in the body of the primary heat exchanger, or in some boiler models on the pipe leaving the primary heat exchanger. The devices can also be installed inside a heated room or outside. In this regard, thermostats for Baxi gas boilers can be divided into:
- invoices;
- submersible;
- indoor;
- external.
In addition, thermostats for Baxi gas boilers are divided according to the method of data transmission into:
- wired;
- wireless.
Baxi heating circuit temperature sensors are distinguished by their thoughtfulness and technical excellence. The developers have created them as practical and durable devices with excellent performance characteristics. Equipment equipped with such sensors will operate efficiently and reliably.
Original pneumatic relays for Baxi boilers
A pressure switch is a device that controls the operation ventilation system boiler and smoke removal processes. The body of the device is designed in such a way that on one side the inner membrane is exposed to Atmosphere pressure, and on the other, pressure flue gases. This allows you to record changes in the composition of the gas-air environment and make appropriate adjustments.
If necessary, Baksi draft sensors are able to turn the boiler burner on or off. All actions of the pneumatic relay are aimed at ensuring safe work heating equipment. If for some reason the air supply pipes become clogged, the pressure switch is activated and performs actions that protect the system from overheating.
The Geyser company sells foreign-made draft sensors according to affordable prices. Our product catalog contains many parts and spare parts from famous brands. From us you can buy a draft sensor for a Baxi gas boiler quickly and without problems. The product will be at your home within a few hours after ordering.
Reliable flow sensors
Flow switches are designed to control water flow. This small device is a very important part of any heating equipment. The device is usually included in the DHW circuit. There are two types of flow sensors:
- turbine;
- ferromagnetic.
The first ones are newer and are a tube with a magnet inside. The flow of water rotates the blades, which creates magnetic pulses transmitted to the control panel. The frequency of signal transmission determines the flow rate.
The latter are more common and look like a float with a magnet inside. When the water is turned on, the float begins to move, thereby affecting the reed switch microswitch, which transmits data further to the control board.
