We are looking for a centralised control system for infrared panel heaters.
Infrared panels were being used to supplement existing heating systems in a lounge or bedroom or to heat a conservatory or a new extension but as they become more popular and people are becoming aware of them, they are being used to replace whole heating systems, especially electric storage radiators and oil fired boiler systems
The panels are from 250watt to 850watt and currently, we use various types of plugin or wireless thermostats to control them.
This works fine but means that each room has to be set separately and there is a growing demand for an automated system that will allow all of the panels to be controlled from one point and from a smart phone/Ipad etc.
On small installs most people are happy with a plugin option but on larger installations they prefer the panels to be hard wired and the cables hidden.
We have just started looking at these controls and there seems to be a lot of new products on the market or about to be launched.
Has anyone got any views on the best and most economical solution that would work for these type of electric heaters?
