Hot Water Systems

Hot water conrol unit Hot Water Systems (sometimes called Domestic Hot Water, or DHW systems) are used to provide hot water at the taps for dish washing, showers and baths etc. It can be heated by electricity (usually via an Immersion Heater) or as part of the Gas or Oil fired wet heating system.

Normally, with a Gas/Oil fired system the simple domestic timeclock (or “programmer”) allows selection of space heating only, or hot water only, or both, to operate to a single set of operating times.

Some clever timeclocks allow separate times to be set for the hot water system, which is desirable because you may need hot water to be available at different times than the heating.

Using Hometronic, the operation of the Hot water system can be tied into the operation of the whole building, so that when you are away, the hot water is not running needlessly. When you have guests staying, you might need the hot water to run for longer; this is easy to achieve using the Lifestyles feature of Hometronic

Hometronic is easy to integrate with Solar Heating, which is normally supplied with its own integral controls.

Electric Water Heating is also no problem, using a Hometronic Switch Module to switch the heater on and off, with a wireless connection to the Hometronic Manager. Automatic changeover from Gas/Oil fired to Electric heating can also be achieved if required.
