can be used with older RTS meters. T is could be a good solution for tenants who are unable to have a smart meter installed. Heat retention radiators feature a state-of-the-art controller that allows
for easy manual or wireless temperature and time control. T ese intelligent temperature control systems are designed to reduce energy bills and maximise controllability. T e heat-retentive stones inside the radiator fi rst warm up, then distribute heat across the front surface and channel it upwards, quickly warming the surrounding air while also providing radiant heat. For hot water heating, you could look at replacing older hot water cylinders
with new, energy-effi cient models, or consider installing zero-carbon electric boilers to provide hot water without the need for off -peak tariff s.
SEEK SUPPORT & ADVICE As you navigate these changes, it’s important to seek support and advice from experts in the fi eld. Companies can provide guidance on upgrading heating
While the end of the RTS presents challenges, it also creates opportunities for housing providers to modernise their tenants’ heating and hot water systems
systems, as well as information on the latest energy-effi cient technologies and funding opportunities that may be available. By working proactively to address the end of the Radio Teleswitch Service,
you can help ensure your tenants continue to have access to aff ordable and reliable heating, while also improving the overall energy effi ciency of your properties.
