Many home owners do not appreciate how heating controls work with their underfloor heating system, the way it relates to, and affects their energy usage. As a result they do not use the thermostat controls as intended in a cost effective way. When it comes to purchasing, the selection of the thermostat is mostly left to the specifier or installer.
This reinforces the crucial role of the installer in choosing user-friendly and reliable controls along with the need to train home owners in its use to match lifestyle and seasonal changes. This is reinforced by Part L 1(c), of Building Regulations, which requires installers to explain to the occupier how to use their heating controls.
As a manufacturer, Warmup also has a key role to play in making sure that our controls like the tempoTM Digital Programmable and 3iE Energy-Monitor Thermostat are user-friendly and designed for home owners to manage and control their energy usage and costs.
They also have a role to play in supporting installers who have trusted them with their business by providing easy to understand user guides (online versions available when the original is mislaid) and 24/7/365 technical support, online ??live?? chat, videos and tutorials.
