Heating Controls Explained
Concerns over energy effiency are now at the forefront of standards in heating controls, for this reason a minimum standard of heating controls has been established in the industry.

Heating Controls - Did you know?
-
Over 80% of home energy consumption is spent on heating and hot water?*
-
A wet system with no heating controls uses up to 20% more energy than a one that uses a minimum set of heating controls?*
-
Heating controls which reduce the average temperature by just 1ºC will save up to 10% of your energy consumption?*
-
Reducing heating "on" time by just 2 hours a day saves up to 6%?* (* Source: TACMA)
So heating controls really are as important as having the right kind of boiler. The overall effectiveness of a heating system depends on boiler efficiency and good heating controls in virtually equal measure.
