The Domestic Heating and Plumbing Trade Events: Honeywell provides valuable advice, answers technical questions and demonstrates the latest heating control technologies. 

BRACKNELL, 14 SEPTEMBER 2001  –  Honeywell, the leading supplier of controls to the domestic heating market, provides valuable advice on maximising the trade’s profitability, answers technical questions and demonstrates the latest heating control technologies to visitors at the regional Domestic Heating and Plumbing Trade Events (DHPTE) this autumn.
“We are there to answer installers’ problems, rather than just to show the latest products,” said Richard Edwards, Manager of Honeywell’s Trade Business.

Key among the Honeywell exhibits is the Smartfit system, now established as a new standard for central heating control – not surprising as it was developed in response to installers demands for a system that is not only quick and easy to install but includes self-diagnostics to show if there is a fault.  It helps specifiers, merchants and installers by reducing the complexity of installation and ensures the installation is “right first time”.  Its connections are either plug in or have two wire connections that are polarity free, resulting in reduced hassle and inconvenience.  If there is a central heating problem in the future, the householder can pass on a fault code from the Smartfit controller’s display, identifying the problem and allowing the correct parts to be taken to fix it.

Traditional control solutions are still of major importance, so Honeywell is demonstrating products to develop this market, including reversible flow radiator thermostats and advanced controls such as the CM60 programmable room thermostat range. With the growth of combi boiler installations, Honeywell offers both wired and wireless (RF) control solutions.

Honeywell is committed to expanding the market, so it holds regular training courses around the country to help installers keep up to date with the latest technologies.  Honeywell is also involved in lobbying the Government to raise the standard of energy efficiency controls in the UK.

All Honeywell products comply with UK and European directives and are manufactured in factories certificated to ISO 9000.  Established in 1885, Honeywell have a reputation for high quality products that meet every control requirement in all its business areas including applications as diverse as aerospace, industrial processes and commercial buildings.

Dates and venues for DHPTE shows this autumn are:
