Creating the Optimal Heating Control System With Glow-Worm Products
In this article we look at how to create a very efficient and economical heating system by installing a Glow-worm product such as a high efficiency boiler and then using an advanced controller to manage it
As most homeowners know,
much of a home’s energy bill goes towards heating and hot water. As such, many homeowners have opted for high efficiency boilers that have helped to cut household carbon emissions drastically, while also managing to save many consumers hundreds of pounds each year. However, to really get the best performance out of a high efficiency boiler or any sort of heating system, consumers should have the right controls to go with it. A control system that allows homeowners to effectively manage the temperature of their home’s air and hot water supply will go a long way in making that home as efficient as possible. Fortunately, Glow Worm offers a number of top of the line controls that all homeowners should seriously consider as an important feature of their home heating system. This article will look at what those products are so consumers can find out which one would be best for their circumstances.
Climapro2 RF
The Climapro2 RF is for those who want the absolute best in control systems. This system is one of the most advanced currently available to domestic consumers. It is wireless, so it can be taken from room to room and used like a remote control. The features of this handheld device are numerous and highly innovative. For example, homeowners can use this control to set the temperature for various times of the day, thus programming the boiler to automatically reduce heat when the occupants are off to work or school, and then to turn that heat back on in the evening. Being able to use this timer feature will mean that homeowners no longer have to worry about remembering to turn down the heat before they leave the home, which in turn will mean that energy is being used more efficiently. Even better, if used in conjunction with an outdoor sensor, the Climapro2 RF can compensate for outdoor temperatures.
Wireless Outdoor Sensor
That, of course, brings up the next important control feature, the wireless outdoor sensor. These sensors are installed on the outside of a property, and they monitor the outside temperature so that the boiler can adjust its heat output to the interior rooms accordingly. After all, it makes no sense that a boiler should be delivering the same heating performance on cold winter days as it does during the hot summer months. As a result, a wireless outdoor sensor will help to make a home’s heating system even more efficient than it already is. This sensor is charged by small inbuilt solar panels (similar to a calculator), meaning that it requires very little maintenance on the part of homeowners.
Systempro3
The Systempro3 is another highly advanced control system that is ideal for those who want versatility from their heating controls. This system allows users to control three heating zones as well as one hot water zone. These zones mean that heating can be used efficiently so that it is not being wasted on rooms that do not need heating. This system needs to be used with an outdoor sensor, and the above mentioned Climapro2 RF can also be used in conjunction with this system to give consumers the best mix of mobility and control. It can also be coordinated to work with under floor heating. In general, the Systempro3 will act as the nerve centre for a homeowner’s heating control system, and with this device he will be able to track maintenance issues, system performance, menus, history, and other important items.
As most people know, the best way to reduce carbon emissions and keep energy bills low is by reducing heat consumption. But simply keeping the thermostat down rarely goes far enough when it comes to saving energy. Rather, homeowners need a control system that allows them to specify exactly how their home’s heat is being used and distributed. A smart control system will mean that heating and hot water are being used efficiently, and that almost nothing is going to waste. The products on offer above from Glow-Worm, show how advanced controls have become in recent years. Whether consumers buy just one of the products above, or combine all three of them into a single, optimal system, they will be doing their part to help the environment and save money.
