Control
Heating and Cooling - sensibly
With
Hometronic from Sensible Heat, you can control
virtually any heating (or cooling) system that you will find in a UK house.
Generally, the heating system does not need to be designed around the control
system (although we may have some suggestions for enhancements), we can
usually work with the system you already have.
Most UK houses have “wet” heating systems using radiators
or underfloor pipework, or a combination
of both. We have Hometronic solutions for all of these systems. The unique
wireless products, particularly the Radiator Controller, allow easy retrofit
installation, and mean you can make every room in your house a separate
zone – without alteration to the pipework !

The main boiler system and associated pumps
and valves can be controlled, whether a simple single-boiler-and-pump system,
or a more complex arrangement. Using complementary products, we can employ
clever techniques like weather compensation, optimum start to ensure maximum
energy efficiency
Electric heating can be easily controlled, too. You can even control temporary
electric heating easily, using the plug-in Switch Module.
The Hot Water system (sometimes called
Domestic Hot Water) for washing, baths etc can be controlled by the Hometronic
system, to make sure you have hot water available when you need it,
but you’re not wasting energy when you don’t.
Cooling
systems can be controlled, too. It may be as simple as an overhead fan;
no problem. A greener solution might be to adopt so-called Natural or Passive
Ventilation, with automated window or vent opening. Awnings
can be used for solar shading to automatically reduce internal temperatures.
For those situations where green
solutions are not possible, air conditioning units can be controlled,
to ensure that they are only used when needed, and are not running at the
same time as the heating system.
