Wireless Sensors for Heating Controls: The Next Level of Comfort and Energy Efficiency

 


The introduction of advanced long range wireless sensors for our internet heating controls has become an important way to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs. 

One of the most significant benefits of long range wireless sensors for heating is that they are easy to install and maintain. Unlike traditional wired sensors, wireless sensors do not require any cables or wires to be run, making them much less expensive and time-consuming to install even in very old buildings. Add to that the extended range and extended battery life of our current sensors and you have a formula for one of the most simple to setup, yet sophisticated heating control systems out there.

Additionally, the long range wireless sensors provide real-time data accessible on any internet capable control. This allows our heating control systems to make more informed decisions about how to operate, which can lead to significant energy savings.

Long Range Wireless Sensors Enhance Your Heating Control System

  • Set it and forget it.  The sensors monitor the temperature in different areas of your building and adjust the boiler firing cycles automatically.
  • Works in concert with the outdoor reset functions of your Heat-Timer ® Control to improve the efficiency of boiler firing.
  • Improves resident comfort by reporting temperature readings from problematic areas of your building.
  • Provides graphical history of space temperatures to combat potential heating complaints with real data.

Wireless Temperature Sensors Come with a Remote Management Capability

Any of our heating controls with long range wireless sensors also comes with our Building Net remote management system. This provides real-time desktop and/or mobile app access to all buildings and boiler rooms that are using either a Genesis Heat-Timer ®, or a Platinum series control with internet upgrade.

Everyone wants a Heat-Timer® to save money on heating bills, we get that. But building management companies, HVAC technicians, and building maintenance personnel quickly grow to love how easy it is to see what is going on with their boilers and heating costs during the heating season. All from the comfort of wherever they are. Alarms can be set on a wide variety of parameters with adjustable thresholds which can prevent both resident complaints and costly repairs or breakdowns.

Go Wireless Today

If you are looking for a way to improve the efficiency and performance of your boiler operations, a Heat-Timer Genesis ® control for small buildings, or a Heat-Timer®  Platinum series Internet control is a great option. 

Contact the team at Heat-Timer and we can answer your questions and recommend a qualified HVAC contractor in your area for installation in time for this winter.

How Heat-Timer® Controls Can Make Your Building Management System Better

A  Building Management System  (BMS), also called Building Automation System (BAS) is a system that allows building managers to monitor and control a building’s major mechanical and safety systems in one central, easy-to-use application. A BMS can be thought of as a distributed network of building systems supervised and controlled in one central platform. The network of field controllers and other system controllers are distributed throughout the building and communicate to the BMS through a local area network. Field controllers can be general purpose, supplied by the BMS integrator and used for simple applications like lighting control, ventilation fans and building access. With a BMS, these applications can also be separated by zone, floor or other combinations to yield optimal HVAC performance. Field controllers for mission critical systems like fire alarms and heating are specialized and can act independently, as well as under BMS control. The Heat-Timer® Platinum series boil

  One of the most appealing parts of the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is the wireless sensor connectivity that comes with our Building Net internet upgrade. There are thousands of clients who own an original, non-internet capable Platinum Series control and when they upgrade the control with our Building Net internet package they actually get two major elements: An Internet/Mobile ready control – The Building Net upgrade gives any platinum control the ability to be controlled via the internet through a simple browser connection to a web management portal, or via our free mobile app. In either case, reports, alarms, control settings, and real-time monitoring are all at your fingertips, wherever those fingertips may be. Wireless Sensor Integration – You can think of this as the second network access that is enabled by the Building Net upgrade. This internal Long Range network allows you to connect our wireless space sensors to the control, which by reporting temperatures in various

Heat-Timer® ETV/ETS – Now Saving Time as well as Money..

Image
  For plumbing professionals, time IS money.  The longer a job takes, the longer your guys are tied up and can’t get to the next job. Or you have to bid the expected time so high that you never get the job in the first place. Heat-Timer® has been helping commercial plumbers for decades by providing them high quality solutions for domestic hot water systems. The most current evolution of our 3-way mixing valve, we call our ETV or Electronic Tempering Valve . This motorized mixing valve is driven by a control module that utilizes an immersion sensor to control the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a desired mixed outlet temp +/- 2 degrees. With our computer guided ETV running the show, you can keep your hot water supply heated hot enough to be safe from bacteria (See Table Below) like Legionella, while delivering a perfectly controlled hot water temperature to end users.  Heat-Timer’s ETV Now Delivered Inside the ETS The Heat-Timer Electronic Tempering Valve (E
