Heat-Timer Genesis™ – Ease of Installation

Image
  In the 5 New York City boroughs there are literally thousands of multi-family dwellings housing millions of residents. Many of those buildings are on the smaller side, housing anywhere from 2 to 20 families. And the vast majority of those were built more than 50 years ago, using single steam or hot water boilers to heat radiators with piping, wiring, and risers buried long ago inside the walls of these buildings. Building owners looking to modernize their heating systems to save on fuel, were often put off by the cost of recommended upgrades, especially when construction costs were factored in. Even heating control and thermostat solutions sometimes required running wires through multiple floors down to the boiler room, when existing wiring could not support modern device interface requirements, or the wiring simply wasn’t where it needed it to be. Genesis Was Made for This. The key to achieving the level of comfort and savings that Heat-T...

Mobile App and Alarm Notification

  At a high level, there are really two key area’s where  Heat-Timer Genesis™  pushes the envelope of capability for a modern heating control. One area is certainly its ability to save small building owners on fuel costs while maintaining even better resident comfort. But the other area is certainly its ability to improve the quality of life, and ease of use for building managers, owners, supers and HVAC technicians alike, owing to its completely internet and mobile enabled interactions. Heating Control Remote Alarms One key area is that of remote alarms. Genesis Heat-Timer ™ can send real-time alarms to designated users via either email or text, or within the free Heat-Timer® Mobile App. Furthermore, alarm thresholds can be set based on user preference. There are also more types of alarms available than ever before, and these alarms provide instant and clear indication as to what they are and where the problem is located. In many c...

Genesis Heat-Timer™ – Internet Portal

Image
We’ve talked about how our space sensors are completely wireless, but  Genesis Heat-Timer ™  is also completely internet and mobile capable for remote monitoring and management. While the Genesis Heat-Timer ™ control features a local button-based interface and lcd screen, most users will quickly prefer the convenience of either our mobile app or our internet portal, which can make most trips to the boiler room a distant memory. Many building management companies are already aware of the ease of monitoring and management our internet portal provides. With varying access and security levels, your team can see reports or make changes to your entire portfolio of buildings through a simple, intuitive, web-based interface.  By drilling down into various elements of key operational data, building managers have easy access to data that includes: · Real-time apartment temperatures and sensor battery life · Boiler heal...

Genesis Heat-Timer™ – Wireless Sensors

Image
  One of the key features that sets  Genesis Heat-Timer™  apart from other heating controls is the inclusion of pre-programmed wireless space sensors.  The base product includes three space sensors but can connect to up to 5 for appropriate coverage of a typical small building of 20 units or less. Installing the space sensors couldn’t be easier, simply mount them on the wall with the provided hardware in an apartment.  The wireless sensors with their extended range, will report space temperatures directly to Genesis without need of repeaters or additional network hubs. The space sensors perform a key role in the control of the heating system.  By utilizing building temperature readings from all areas of the building along with the outside temperature, algorithms actually self-learn the heating characteristics of your building. The best part for building owners is that the Genesis Heat-Timer™, utilizing its space sensors, is able to do this  using...
