I wanted to share my experience with setting up an efficient heating system using smart thermostats. After experimenting with multiple configurations, I found a setup that balances comfort and energy efficiency. Here’s how I did it:
Problem: I had 7 smart TRVs and 2 normal TRVs, but the heating wasn’t as efficient as I hoped. The boiler was cycling too often, especially during colder months.
Solution: I decided to implement a scheduled heating system. I set the boiler to run in 30-minute cycles early in the morning and late in the evening. Additionally, I added a 30-minute boost before bedtime when it’s colder. All TRVs are set to 18°C, and the boiler’s water flow temperature is maintained at 62°C.
Results: This setup has significantly reduced our heating bills. The boiler runs more efficiently, and the house stays comfortable throughout the day. I also created a graph to monitor the TRV performance, which helps in making further adjustments if needed.
Conclusion: If you’re looking to optimize your heating system, I recommend starting with consistent TRV settings and implementing scheduled boiler cycles. It’s a simple yet effective way to save energy and keep your home warm. Happy heating!
