With a conventional thermostat, once the room temperature is satisfied, the heating is turned off and the floor will cool over time, however Intelligent controls can ensure that the underfloor heating keeps floors maintained at a warm temperature even when there is no demand to heat the room. This is an especially useful comfort feature for tiled floors in a bathroom ensuring that when you get out of the shower the floor is a comfortable temperature.

Increasingly nowadays comfort cooling is being installed in some rooms, or sometimes throughout the property and this traditionally has required two sets of controls and someone has to set the heating and cooling setpoints to make sure that the two systems do not fight each other. A smartkontrols system solves this with ease. The heating and cooling are seamlessly controlled from the system, preventing cycling of heating followed by cooling. Added to this, the system will measure the outside air temperature and ensure the heating achieves the temperature you set at the time you require.

The room by room control allows the home owner to have individual occupation times as well as different required temperatures in each room so that bedrooms, living areas, bathrooms and kitchens can all be set to their own specific settings. This also allows unoccupied rooms such as guest bedrooms to be set to “non occupancy” when not required, contributing towards the overall energy savings.

If all this sounds complicated to set up, no need to worry. Once your system is installed and operating, it will automatically control to the settings you have asked for. You set the temperature and times, the system delivers comfort. If you go away on holiday, you can tell the system when you will return and the property will be ready for your return.

You can make adjustments via the local “zone controller”, or via a touch screen or you can even connect your PC to the system and make adjustments from there or over the internet if you wish. There is also an SMS text interface so that you can text from a mobile phone if your travel plans change and ensure that your property is ready for your return. Finally if you have a whole house touch screen system linking your lighting, audio and visual systems, you can also link your smartkontrols heating system to this.
