Upgraded thermostat offers better features


The ESRTP4RF+ programmable room thermostat from ESi Controls has been upgraded with the launch of the new ESRTP4RFW, which is WiFi compatible when combined with the ESi WiFi Hub (ESWIFIHUB). Both versions – the original ESRTP4RF+ and the new ESRTP4RFW – are available, offering a choice for customers. The newest version


incorporates a WiFi chip, enabling remote operation through the separately-sold WiFi Hub, while the original backplate design has been retained to offer installers installation flexibility. The control interface has


also been updated, with the slider bar replaced with buttons that feature larger labels for improved visibility and usability. This change is particularly beneficial for users with limited eyesight or difficulty operating the older slider mechanism. To coincide with the launch of the new control, the ESi app is having


a makeover, too. It will still be simple to operate with user-friendly functionality but is having a complete aesthetic upgrade. ESI Controls is continuing to offer the option for the thermostat front cover to be laser- engraved, free of charge, with the installer’s logo and business details, to ensure the installer is the customer’s first point of contact. The ESRTP4RFW is compatible with gas, electric, oil and LPG boilers


and comes with a standard three-year warranty. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/225/71

It delivers a flow rate of 40L/h, approximately four times that of piston-based mini pumps, and incorporates advanced features to optimise energy use and reduce operational noise. Its variable speed demand control dynamically adjusts to its environment, using less energy while extending motor life.
