Product Information

Industry Connections: We maintain close ties with manufacturers and brands, offering insights into trends and upcoming products. Drayton’s smart control is the Wiser system. Upgrading from a traditional system to Wiser can be as easy as swapping out the existing timeswitch or programmer for the appropriate Wiser hub. As well as giving you smart capability, Wiser also lets you add other devices such as smart radiator thermostats to give room by room control and really drive the efficiency of your central heating system. For more information on Wiser go to Wiser.draytoncontrols.co.uk Radiator Control and TRV FAQs Although the TRVs make a small humming noise while operating, I found that they were very quiet in operation. Once I was used to them, I could easily sleep while they operated.

When taking a digital thermostat from a cold van and installing it in a warm home, you should be aware that it won’t respond instantaneously. A smart thermostat is an internet connected heating control that allows you to manage your home’s temperature and heating schedules from a remote location, using your smartphone or tablet.

RF stands for radio frequency and is a method for devices to communicate with each other without the need for wires.

The thermostat can be mounted to the stand or to the wall clip in a location where it will be able to control the room temperature. When wall mounting, the thermostat should be placed around 1.2m (4ft) off the ground and away from windows and radiators. Hold the transmitter unit 2 metres away from the SCR unit and then replace the batteries in the transmitter. Replacing a TRV head but not the valve There’s also an Away mode, where your heating is set to a reduced temperature (configured by you). This mode is handy when you’re out or on holiday. There’s only manual operation of this, but you can use the IFTTT channel to build your own geolocation service, either for one device or, with a service such as Life360, for your entire family. Wireless programmable room thermostats are easy to install, and most installers only need help with commissioning the system. First, remove the batteries from the transmitter unit and allow the screen to go blank. You can also set up heating schedules within the app to change the thermostat temperature throughout the day. In the diagram above, the thermostat is located in the living room. So you could set it to 18°C and also schedule this to change to 20°C between 7pm - 8pm, making it nice and cosy for you in the evening when you settle down in front of the TV.

Time controls are devices that allow you to set when your heating comes on and goes off. They can be programmed so that you never forget to turn your heating off (or on). Time controls work alongside your temperature controls. When your time control is on, if the room reaches the set temperature the thermostat will override the time control and turn off your heating. Timeswitches and programmers are both time control devices. Yes! A room thermostat is an important component in controlling your heating to optimise the efficiency of your system and comply with the requirements of Boiler Plus. It can sometimes be necessary to replace the TRV head to provide improved control or to simply enhance the radiator appearance and this can be done without changing the entire valve body.
