The Wiser solution for smart heating control

Energy bills are rising, interest in renewables is growing, and smart technology has advanced significantly in recent years in terms of what it can offer. As such, homeowners are now looking for more from their heating control, which is where Wiser, the system from heating control expert Drayton, comes in.

With over 75 years’ experience of manufacturing solutions in the UK, designed for UK heating systems, electricians working on heating systems can trust that Wiser will meet all their customers’ needs and make their lives easier.

Making control easier than ever

Wiser is an easy-to-use system, which can be managed via an app on their smartphone at any time, from anywhere in the world. However, for those looking for a physical control, Wiser also comes with a Wireless Room Thermostat, which can be placed anywhere around the home without any hassle. As well as offering convenience for homeowners, this helps streamline installation for electricians.

Multi-zoning capability

Wiser is a multi-zoned system, which allows electricians to create room-by-room heating control for their customers. This makes Wiser an ideal option for electricians working on existing heating systems and providing system upgrades for their customer, as multi-zoning can be achieved with little hassle.

By installing Wiser Radiator Thermostats throughout the home, it’s easy to create individual rooms, which can also be grouped together into zones, all of which can be set to their own temperature and even have their own schedule.

Improved energy efficiency

Along with the multi-zoning functionality, Wiser also offers homeowners access to smart modes. Together, they can result in savings of up to 30% on the average energy bill.

This is all achieved by optimising the heating to minimise consumption. A multi-zoned system and Away Mode both prevent wasted energy, by ensuring empty rooms – or an empty home – aren’t heated unnecessarily. Meanwhile, Eco Mode combines optimum stop and weather compensation to study the thermal properties of the home and learns to switch the boiler off sooner than scheduled, whilst still maintaining the set point to reduce energy consumption.

Suitable for mixed systems

The Wiser system is suitable for use with a wide range of heating systems, and thanks to the Underfloor Heating Controller and Electrical Heat Switch, can even be used on electrical heating and hydronic underfloor heating. This means that mixed heating systems can all be controlled with just one app, cutting down the number of controls you need to install and making it easier than ever for your customers to manage.

Simple installation

When it comes to installation, Wiser is designed to make this as simple as possible. For example, Wiser is compatible with the standard UK wallplate, which is found within 80% of homes in the UK, making it a great option for retrofitting.

The system also offers flexibility, with the ability to introduce additional smart radiator thermostats to the system later down the line, up to a maximum of 63 devices and 16 rooms. So, if the customer just wants to start off small and add to the system as they get more confident with it, or if they’re adding an extension to the property, Wiser will grow as their needs do.

Plus, the system can be set up without the need to get log in details of the customer’s Wi-Fi network.

Tech support you can trust

Finally, should technical support be required when working with Wiser, Drayton’s UK-based customer support team are on hand to assist. Plus, for those who are new to Wiser or are simply looking to level-up their knowledge, training courses are available on Drayton’s Rewards+ platform, which cover installation, commissioning and troubleshooting.

Drayton Rewards+ is also where electricians can earn valuable points by registering products and completing training courses, which can be redeemed against a range of items from the rewards catalogue. Plus, when members claim points for products installed, they’re automatically given an extended five-year warranty they can offer their customers.
