London
central heating installer has halfed the time taken to install
controls since switching to Honeywell Smartfit.
“My
customers prefer the Smartfit controller which combines the
programmer and room thermostat in one unit”
BRACKNELL, UK,
3 April 2002 - Home heating
installer Robert Whiting of South London has halved the time to
install central heating controls since choosing Honeywell’s
Smartfit system over traditional controls. “It’s
fast and easy for me to install – and my customers love it,”
observed Robert, proprietor of RH Heating (84 Dumbarton Road,
London SW2 5LU). “They
particularly like the Smartfit controller which combines the
programmer and room thermostat in one unit,” he revealed.
Robert
always provides the best for his customers, so installs Smartfit
on all new central heating installations and upgrades where
possible. “It makes
upgrades particularly easy. Even when replacing a three-way valve,
I may recommend replacing the control system with Smartfit because
then householders have much better control of their central
heating and hot water, as well as the convenience of a single
control unit. It
doesn’t take long to install a Smartfit system due to its
snap-on valve actuator and plug-in electrical connections – and
I leave behind a very happy customer.”
Smartfit
installer packs contain everything needed for an installation
including valves, a cylinder sensor, a
controller and a base unit with plug-in connections and
ready-wired cables ready to plug in.
Some
80 per cent of RH Heating’s installations are directly for
householders and the remainder is contract work, notably for
London borough councils.
RH
Heating is one of many installers, housing associations and
councils throughout the UK that have changed to Smartfit, whose
circuits uniquely use 12 volts or less, not mains voltage, and are
centred on a connection box that provides plug-in or simple 2-wire
connection for all space heating and hot water controls.
Installers simply connect the two-wire room unit, plug in
the valves and cylinder sensor, and the system is complete.
Valve actuators simply snap on and are common to all valves
in the range. There
is no need for a wiring diagram and it is virtually impossible to
install a Smartfit system incorrectly.
