Government statistics highlight that over 80% of energy consumption within the home is used by heating and hot water.

Despite this, it is estimated that 3/4’s of UK homes fall below the Building Regulations’ minimum standard for energy efficient heating controls. 

If you are considering a new or self build project, Honeywell, with over 100 years experience as energy efficiency experts, are ideally placed to offer the ultimate in heating controls, ensuring that the home operates efficiently whilst satisfying all necessary building requirements. 

Minimum standards state that a complete heating system should contain a:

• Room thermostat
• Programmer
• Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs)
• Cylinder thermostat

Fitting a complete system can reduce waste, by only heating those areas where necessary, can prevent overheating by adjusting the heating, so it is warm when you want it to be and can make condensing boilers operate at a higher efficiency, through utilising energy efficient controls. 

Honeywell is committed to addressing the homes without the Building Regulations’ minimum standard for energy efficient heating controls. Through a range of wired and wireless heating controls, which combine ease and speed of installation with the best in comfort and sophistication, Honeywell can make the home as energy efficient as possible, ultimately to reduce energy bills and usage. 

8½ million homes do not have even a simple thermostat. Simply by fitting one, you can save up to 30% of the heating bill. Modern thermostats use Time Proportional and Integral (TPi) control, which are more accurate and can reduce operational losses compared with traditional wired On/Off controls. Thermostats can also act as a load compensator, and can gain Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) points. The DT90 range of wired and wireless digital room thermostats feature a large LCD display, are simple to use and have an ‘Eco’ button for extra energy savings. 

Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) regulate individual radiator output in wet central heating systems and achieve a room temperature that you want. They are particularly useful in taking advantage of uncontrolled heat gains. 

Fitting a programmer will allow you to control your heating and hot water requirements, utilising energy saving features such as Optimisation to reduce waste and improve efficiency. The ST9000 range of programmers feature Line of Text (LoT^TM) display, which provide simple to follow instructions on screen, a large backlit display and a choice of 3 built in programmes. 

You can divide a system into ‘zones’, which are controlled to suit how you live. Rather than controlling the whole house as a single heating zone, zoning allows for different rooms or areas to be kept at different temperatures. The demands from different zones can be synchronized so that they are satisfied simultaneously, making the boiler run more efficiently. The CM900 range of programmable room thermostats are ideally suited to zoning and can provide automatic time and temperature control of domestic heating premises. 

Honeywell Environmental and Combustion Controls is the leading innovator in heating controls, gas controls and water products that improve energy efficiency and water conservation, support regulatory compliance, and maintain safe, comfortable environments in homes and buildings. 

Honeywell water controls include valves and accessories for water control, pressure reduction and regulation, backflow prevention and system balancing.
