Do you have electric heating - then zone your house!

Most central heating systems are just that - central heating.

They have a central control unit that will work on a timer and thermostat, and at the allotted time it will turn your heating system and warm your house to the temperature as stated on the thermostat. We can add additional control to each room by adding a thermostatic valve, but these are normally changed manually when wanting a room to be either warmer or cooler than the central thermostat.

If you turn the valve up and forget to turn it back down again, then the central heating system, when it next comes on, will warm that room up to its new setting. Quite a cumbersome way to control the heat in your home.

With electric heating there is no need to have a central control system, you can have a timer / thermostat on each electric heater, and therefore in each room/zone, or you can have 2 simple zones, one upstairs one downstairs, or 3 zones, or 4 and each zone can be set to come on at the time most suitable to that zone.

As an example, if you never visit your living room in the morning, then why heat it? You can set the living room to come on early in the evening and to keep the room warm until you go to bed, but in the morning the room stays cold, unlike the centrally heated home where that room will be heated in the morning regardless of the fact that you never go in there.

Are these controllers expensive - not really, you can find them available for £30+ each.

We have a few controllers on our website that will give you some idea of how each zone can be controlled - you find them here CONTROLLERS! Of course, if you have any questions you can contact us via our website contact page!
