BUILDING CONTROLS & TECHNOLOGY
compensation curve to achieve the perfect settings. This removes a headache for installers while also guaranteeing that a heat pump operates at the best possible efficiency. Not only do the latest smart heat pump controls simplify installation but they are also designed with the homeowner in mind. They can be managed by an app giving complete control of a heat pump regardless of where you are but they can also be controlled with in-home hardware, giving complete control of heating and hot water without a smartphone or even internet connection. Smart heat pump controls shouldn’t only be for the tech-savvy. They need to be accessible, easy to use and suitable for anyone who has a heat pump. It’s crucial that these controls are intuitive and user-friendly, with straightforward interfaces that anyone can navigate. They should offer basic functionality that doesn’t rely on constant connectivity, ensuring that all users, regardless of their comfort with technology, can operate their heating systems efficiently and confidently.
Beyond making life easier for homeowners, smart controls can also benefit their wallets. To ensure that the electricity supply remains secure, heat pumps will have to form part of a smart, flexible energy system and be capable of adjusting their operation in response to national electricity requirements - something called Demand Side Response or DSR. The continued uptake of domestic flexibility provides an exciting new opportunity for heat pump owners and allows customers to earn money through the devices they use - a win-win all round. Smart controls will enable the industry to deliver heating solutions that are not only more environmentally friendly but also more cost- effective for homeowners. With an ambitious 1.5 million new homes set to be built over the
The latest generation of smart heat pump controls can make heat pumps a lot easier to install by completely removing the need for an installer to set a weather compensation curve. Instead, they directly control the heat pump’s flow temperature, constantly adjusting the weather compensation curve to achieve the perfect settings. This removes a headache for installers while also guaranteeing that a heat pump operates at the best possible efficiency.
next five years, embracing these advanced technologies will be crucial for ensuring the most efficient heating systems. By doing so, we can move closer to a carbon-free future, where sustainable, intelligent heating is the norm rather than the exception.
