MULTI ZONED HEATING AND THE BENEFITS FOR YOUR POCKETS

In this article, we discuss the benefits that multi-zoned heating brings to the environment and your pockets

As we strive towards reducing our CO2e emissions and attempt to reduce heating costs for homeowners, the subject of heating controls is always an interesting topic and ever so more prevalent now with fuel price increase recently.

Homeowners can take proactive steps in many properties to reduce fuel bills and carbon emissions with some upfront investment and a reasonable payback period.

Maximising Efficiency and Savings with Multi-Zoned Heating Systems

Multi-zoned systems are now extremely popular but not widely adopted across the board for oil installations compared to the gas market. Perhaps it is down to the possible further complexities of the installation and the demographic of the customers. As our industry works to secure its place in the renewable bioliquid market, HVO is gaining traction and some government recognition. We should focus on reducing fuel consumption and promoting energy-efficient systems to homeowners. Service technicians and installers play a key role, as they are the most trusted source of information for homeowners on how to stay warm.

“Homeowners can achieve considerable savings by making each radiator a separate zone and using smart controls with advanced technology, such as our Sapphire boiler. Weather compensation can be provided via the internet, eliminating the need for additional external sensors. Room occupation sensors can detect activity, allowing the system to create a unique operating profile for the property.

With systems like these in place, customers are reporting 25% fuel reductions. One customer calculates a reduction of up to 200 litres per month, while another claims they need one less oil delivery per year, saving around £730.. So, it’s possible that homeowners would see a return on their investment within 2 years.

Installation of this kind may sound a little complex and possibly daunting to know what specific items are required but manufactures are extremely helpful and there to assist you. Multi zoned kits can even now be ordered for a particular installation pre-set and labelled for each room which makes the installation for more plug and play and takes away some of the nervousness of the installer to specify a more complex control system.
