Controlling your Central Heating
You can get a variety of controllers to best suit your needs. From the most basic analogue controller (a dial that turns on and off) to a modern Wifi enabled Thermostat that can be remotely controlled from your phone. Below are some methods for controlling Central Heating Systems.
Control from your phone or voice
- Touch screen and intuitive interface; this controller works with most Central Heating Systems.
- Learns the temperature you like and programs itself.
- Remote control; if you are away you can start up your central heating system through an App on your phone in time for your space to be warm on your return
- Mount on wall or place on a bench with the stand
As well as a central controller for selecting times for when the whole heating system turns on/off automatically, including the general air temperature to heat the house to; radiator panels each have their own thermostat called a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV).
- A good simple control; each TRV can be dialed up or down (and turned off) in each room to the users preferred temperature level.
- The TRV regulates the radiator according to the air temperature of that particular room which is subject to fluctuations from heat gain (e.g. when the sun comes into the room).
