About this deal
This type of system is effectively an upgraded gravity-fed system, where the central heating has been upgraded to be fully pumped, while the hot water remains gravity-fed. This type of upgrade allows separate central heating and hot water timer control, unlike standard gravity-fed systems, due to the addition of motorised valves and a cylinder thermostat. CHARACTERISTICS OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped) Honeywell Evohome gives more flexibility, with its custom actions and IFTTT channel. Its radiator thermostats are also more fully featured, letting you set the temperature you want from the room. If you want the most powerful and flexible multiroom heating system, then, we’d recommend Evohome. The final component, the smart radiator thermostat, is a white plastic cylinder, which fit to the radiator once the existing valve has been unscrewed. To manually override any schedules you may have set, simply swivel the top of the radiator thermostat right to start the radiator heating, or left to stop heating. An LED on the radiator thermostat glows red temporarily when the radiator is heating, and blue if it's been turned off. Turning and holding the radiator thermostat will also reset or put it into set-up mode, depending upon how long you hold it in that position. Timer and thermostat control of the central heating is available independently of the hot water, due to a cylinder thermostat fitted to the hot water cylinder. Older systems upgraded with pumps provide better thermostatic control of the central heating and the ability to control it independently of the hot water.
The Wiser Hub can be installed in just 20 minutes using the industry standard wall plate included. Wire into your existing cylinder thermostat for hot water control. The system is suitable for 99% of all UK boilers. On the 2-channel programmer where you set your schedules, try setting the hot water side to off and the central heating side to on. If doing this automatically turns on the hot water side as well, this would indicate a gravity system. ADVANTAGES OF GRAVITY-FED SYSTEMS (non-pumped)Requires a two-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 2 or Wiser Multi-zone Kit 2), to control the central heating via one channel and hot water via the other.
Requires a three-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 3) – note that you won’t require the third channel, because the hot water control in a combi system is not separate. A two-channel kit is not suitable for a combi system with two heating zones as the second channel in the two-channel kits is only suitable for hot water control in a conventional boiler system (with a separate hot water tank). HubR: Fixed wiring only, to comply with current IET regulations (BS7671); Room and radiator thermostat: No wiring required With its intuitive user interface, the Wiser Home app makes it easy to adjust your heating and hot water. Set up your app in seconds using simple step-by-step instructions.
