Having our boiler replaced I was happily going along with the recommendation of a WB Greenstar 18Ri with HoneywellCM927 until I came across the concept of OpenTherm and modulating direct boiler controls.
It appears that WB don't offer an OpenTherm boiler, (at least not in the size we need - haven't looked at the larger ones), so we'd have to look elsewhere.
Would modulating controls be worth considering?
