Other Heating
– Controls, Compensation and Smart Thermostats Overview
When installing a central heating system, it’s crucial that a property is equipped with a full set of heating controls. Under ECO4, a variety of heating controls are available, designed to enhance the efficiency of how properties are heated, saving money and reducing the carbon footprint.
Heating controls are typically installed alongside the installation of a new boiler or air source heat pump.
The range of heating control measures include:
Compensation – Load or weather
Programmer and room thermostat
Smart thermostat
Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)
Time and temperature zone controls (TTZC)
As with all ECO energy-efficient schemes, eligibility criteria apply. Owner-occupied properties are eligible for heating controls, as are social housing properties with an E, F, or G Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. However, these controls or thermostats can only be installed as part of a first-time central heating installation.
Privately rented accommodation with an A-E grade EPC is eligible for heating controls and thermostats. Properties with an F or G rating qualify if the thermostat or control is part of a first-time central heating installation.
