Heat Controllers

Below are some heating control devices that are widely used:The Optimiser:These are programs called that will monitor the temperature of all points around the home and then will help adjust the system itself for its most efficient spread of heat. An Acton Plumber can fit these.Zone Valves:These are fitted when you want to divide the home up into separate parts called zones which can be closed down at different times in a 24-hour period. The zone control valve will monitor this action. It means that it can be set to suit the way your home uses its heating throughout a normal day. Thermostatic Radiator Valves:The TRV is a very good and really easy to fit option as it will let you adjust the temperature of any room on its own. A great addition to make to your system is to fit thermostatic radiator valves in your kitchen and bedroom, so you can control the temperature in those rooms while the main room thermostat controls the boiler.Room Thermostats:These normally sit on the wall at about head height in the living room. They control the central heating pump and boiler on temperature. Acton Plumbers can advise on temperature control.Thermostatic Radiator Valve:The TRV is reliable and quite an easy fit option for a system, because it allows the adjustment of the temperature in any of the rooms in the house. Kitchen and bedrooms are particular good fits for local control of heat.Some Recommendations:1). Just one room thermostat is not enough to allow efficient heat control in the home so the best cost effective and logical way would be to fit thermostatic radiator valves to every radiator. 2). Automatic heating controllers will work at their best with the gas-fired or even oil fired central heating systems. 3). Solid fuel systems (coal or coke) change their temperature slowly so they are not very accurate to control.
