Heating Controls Case Study

Patrick has a four bedroom detached house with a floor area of 150 metre squared and had an annual heating bill of €1,700. Despite having installed a new boiler several years earlier, Patrick had very poor control of the system. He had no time or temperature control of the space and water heating and could not heat water without turning on all the radiators in the house or the electric immersion heater. This meant both heating and hot water were left on for long periods throughout the year, unnecessarily increasing the heating bill.

Patrick decided to get some simple heating controls installed in his house in order to significantly reduce his annual energy consumption and heating bill. The heating system was divided into 2 zones (1 for space heating and 1 for hot water) by getting his plumber to install a 7-day programmer with room and cylinder thermostats and a motorised control valve. Patrick can now heat his water without having to turn on radiators or the electric immersion heater and the programmable timer also allows him much greater control of when the heating should operate in each zone. Before installing these control measures, Patrick used to regularly leave the heating system running all night to make sure that house was warm in the morning and that there was enough hot water for his family to have showers.

The installation of these new heating control measures means that he has much greater control over his heating system and his annual fuel bill has reduced by 30% - an annual saving of over €500 per year. Typical costs for this type of upgrade are approx. €800 - €1,000 (excluding grant). Patrick was also able to secure grant aid from the SEI Home Energy Saving Scheme (HES) to help him with the cost of his heating controls upgrade



7 Day Timer Control

A 7 day timer control allows you to set operation times for your water and heating separately. Using your timer control you can set your heating system to hot water only, e.g. in the summer or any time; or radiators only at any time; or both working together. The simple to adjust timer control allows you to set times for your heating to come on and off at the push of a button.

Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)

Also included in a heating controls upgrade are thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) which allow you to adjust the thermostat for each individual radiator and therefore control the temperature in each room of your house. Using TRVs you can maintain a lower temperature in rooms that are not in frequent use.

Hot water cylinder thermostat

Fit an up-to-date thermostat to your hot water cylinder to control your hot water temperature so that you are not overheating water. With a water cylinder thermostat you can remove the need to add cold water to cool your water down for washing or bathing.
