Drayton Wiser Multi-Zone Smart Thermostat and 2 Smart Radiator Thermostat Kit - Conventional Boilers Only - Heating and Hot Water Control

Product Information

Installation and servicing are usually cheaper than other common boiler systems due to less equipment and plumbing required.

Now that we’re clear what a combi boiler is, some combi boiler systems have two separate heating zones, controlled by two thermostats. CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBI BOILERS (two heating zones)Also known as sealed or system boiler systems, a conventional boiler system with an unvented hot water cylinder uses a hot water cylinder that’s separate to the boiler but does not require a cold water tank usually typical of vented gravity-fed systems. CHARACTERISTICS OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with unvented cylinder and one heating zone)

Drayton’s Wiser impressed us last year by being easy to set up and cheap to buy. This year, those two attributes still count, but the company has also made several underlying improvements, including IFTTT and Google Home support.If, however, but turning on the central heating side, the hot water also turns on, this would indicate a gravity system. ADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped) If you have a gravity-fed system, Wiser will only be compatible if it is fully pumped, by that we mean upgraded with motorised valves and a cylinder thermostat.

Requires a two-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 2 or Wiser Multi-zone Kit 2), to control the central heating via one channel and hot water via the other. Honeywell Evohome gives more flexibility, with its custom actions and IFTTT channel. Its radiator thermostats are also more fully featured, letting you set the temperature you want from the room. If you want the most powerful and flexible multiroom heating system, then, we’d recommend Evohome. Screw the Smart Radiator Thermostats onto the radiator valves where you have existing Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs)Boiler Systems Explained: Conventional Gravity-Fed Boilers With A Vented Hot Water Cylinder And Non-Pumped Central Heating An initially gravity-fed system that has been retrofitted with motorised valves so that the central heating is now fully pumped. Wiser smart thermostats are compatible with most boiler makes and models, but it’s important to consider which boiler system type you have when selecting your Wiser kit. Here we’ll guide you through the most common boiler system types to help you find the ideal Wiser products to suit your home.

Requires a three-channel Wiser kit containing two smart thermostats ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 3) to control the central heating via two channels and the hot water via the third.
