Heating Controls! 

Heating can account for as much as 84% of your  total Home Energy use. A large proportion of this energy is likely to be wasted due to poor control of your Home Heating System. Heating controls have become very sophisticated over the last decade. We offer a number of solutions that will help you better manage the heat throughout your home and save some money on your utility bills. 

According to SEAI ( Ireland’s National Energy Authority ) “Typically homeowners can reduce their energy usage by up to 20% by installing heating controls in their home and using these controls in an efficient manner.

Zoned Heating Controls

Heating controls are all about matching your Energy needs to your working and living patterns. In other words having rooms heated when you are present or having hot water available only when required. As a minimum, your heating systems should be split into two independently controlled “zones”.

They are your ‘Space Heating Zone’ and your ‘Domestic Hot Water Zone’.

This allows you to heat your domestic hot water without being forced to turn on your space heating ensuring immediate savings.Additional zones can also be added to separate living areas from bedrooms.An Example would be to split upstairs and downstairs areas into two separate zones, ensuring you are heating your downstairs living area only during the daytime and not upstairs bedrooms that only need to be heated during Evening-time.
