What it all
means .
"A" rated
TRV.
"A" rated thermostatic radiator valves have liquid
filled heads which respond quicker and more accurately to temperature fluctuations than valves with wax
elements. Thermostatic radiator valves regulate individual room temperatures and take advantage of other heat
sources such as cooking and sunlight to reduce the amount of water the boiler has to heat. They also allow a
low level of heat in rooms that are not occupied. This is our standard TRV.
Boiler
interlock.
The hot water and heating
zones are wired so that when there is no demand from the thermostats, the boiler is switched off regardless
of the timeclock. The timeclock may be set to run from 4PM to 10PM however the house may reach temperature by
5-30PM. The boiler will switch off but restart if the temperature falls below the thermostat temperature any
time before 10PM. This greatly reduces gas consumption and wear and tear on the boiler whilst maintaining the
desired comfort level. Standard with all boiler installations.
Digital room thermostat.
Digital room thermostats let you see at a glance what the temperature in the room is.
This allows for greater accuracy in setting comfort and economy levels. Digital thermostats are more acurate
and responsive than mechanical analogue thermostats. Digital now
standard with all our installations.
EPH Intrenet
controls.
EPH EMBER allows you to control
your heating and hot water from a smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC. The major advantage of EMBER over other
internet controls is that you have a conventional digital programmer and thermostats in the event of a
broadband failure. EMBER also uses conventional EPH motorised valves which can be used manually in the event
of a programmer or thermostat failure.
Endothermic fluid.
Endothermic fluid increases the ability of water to transfer heat. This means that more
heat is delivered to the radiators for every cubic meter of gas. Endothermic fluid is also a corrosion
inhbitor and the combined effect of improved heat transfer and inhibitor results in savings of 10- 15%.
Standard with Ideal Vogues for January and February 2015
Magnetic
filter.
Heating systems are constructed with varying combinations of
metals and plastics. The interaction between the various components lead to varying degrees of corrosion and
the build up of sludge. Sludge reduces the efficiency of radiators and boilers. As this sludge is mainly
comprised of iron oxide a magnetic filter is an effective way to prevent it being deposited in radiators and
boiler components. As a result the heating system will maintain a high level of efficiency and economy.
System sludge is removed from filter as part of annual service. Magnetic filters are standard with all our
high efficiency boiler installations.
Weather
compensation.
Weather compensation adjusts the temperature of the radiators
in response to outside temperatures. An outdoor sensor is wired to the boiler and the boiler will
automatically increase or decrease the temperature of the flow to the radiators. In a two week period outside
temperatures have ranged from -2°C to +12°C. Weather compensation would have adjusted the flow temperature
from 70°C to 45°C for the radiators saving on gas consumption. Condensing boilers are at their most efficient
the lower the flow temperature as they are extracting the heat from the flue gases exiting the building. No
point in heating the garden. Weather compensation can save an additional 10% on your gas
bill.
Weather compensation is standard with Ideal Vogues for
January and February.
