Comfort On Call

Updated: Feb 17, 2021


The Central Clare Plumbing Company’s

main goal is to try to help customers save

money on energy and repair bills.

We have all the equipment to make your central heating system cleaner and more efficient.

We have come across a number of systems with no controls making them extremely uneconomical and not doing the carbon footprint any favours.

This is where Honeywell Evohome comes in.

Honeywell were the pioneers of the Smart Controls. The first system they released was in 1996 so the present model is state of the art. It works a lot better than most wireless thermostats which will only control the whole system but the Evohome will zone out each Room individually, each sensor zoning off each room. The sensors are all controlled by an interface main control unit. The hot water cylinder can also be controlled wit a separate wireless thermostat. This is a fantastic setup and if you are staying put you will get the installation cost back in no time. This system is very appealing to most people as it can be controled by your phone so you always know if your home is warm and comfy.

The Central Clare Plumbing Company can install standard Thermostatic valves to accommodate the Evohome sensors if you don’t have any. This also reduces upheaval and pipe alterations and will allow your heating and hot water system to work independently. The full specification of the Evohome is explained in the following as well as a short video.

Honeywell Evohome can create your ideal comfort zone. With Evohome you control your home temperature room by room. Smart zoning means you only need to heat the areas you’re using, keeping you in control, saving energy and creating your perfect comfort zone.

Smart Zoning for Your Home Your Evohome lets you create and control up to 12 smart heating zones, so you can make an individual zone for the living room, kitchen and bedroom. Now you can be cosy in the rooms you’re using ­– and turn the heat down in the ones you’re not. Control where you need it Control your home heating and hot water when you like, wherever you are. Keep in touch via the Total Connect Comfort Intl App, web browser or voice assistants, whether at home, at work or on the road. Energy efficient Did you know that around 82% of your home energy bills are for heating and hot water? But with Evohome smart zoning, you only heat the parts of your home that you’re actually using, saving precious energy and money.

Smart Temperature Control The Central Clare Plumbing Company is constantly thinking of ways to help you and your home become more efficient and environmentally friendly. So we’ve introduced three brand new features designed to help save you money and do your bit for the planet. And with our patented Advanced Load Scaling™ technology we are able to make sure whatever the size of your home we can help keep you comfortable in the most efficient way.

Heat and cool temperature control Comfortable whatever the weather. evohome Wi-Fi now includes heat pump compatibility making it fit for almost every home now and in the future. When a cool source, like a heat pump, is part of your system, you can easily switch between heating and cooling mode for the perfect way to control each zone of your home for maximum comfort. Keeping you comfortably warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Warm weather saver Transition into summer. Comfortably. With the change of seasons the weather can be unpredictable, so we understand that switching the heating off isn’t always the best idea. Our Warm Weather Saver feature uses outside weather information and will automatically turn the heating on only if it falls below the ideal temperature set by you. So it won’t turn your heating on at all on those early sunny spring days, but you won’t be caught short when that cold front comes in. As a result evohome automatically saves energy while keeping you comfortable – all year round.

Cold weather boost The perfect feature for a cosy home. Evohome’s new Cold Weather Boost feature understands your temperature is not always directly related to how warm a room feels. By proactively reading the outside temperature and detecting factors like draughty windows, evohome changes the programmed setpoint, keeping your comfort levels exactly where they should be.

The price for this kind of control system is not cheap . The entry level kit starts at about €800.00 for 4 zones ,interface and hot water thermostat. You also have to factor in the cost of fitting standard thermostatic radiator valves if you don’t have any which come in at €50.00 per radiator. If the system is dirty it would have to be Power Flushed as the valves are sensitive and would not operate effectively if there is sludge in the pipework and radiator. This all has to be taken into account when you budget for an installation. If you are not planning to move for a few years you will get your money back in a few years in what you save on energy bills. It’s simple maths . If your bill is €1000.00 per year. 40% saving on energy as Honeywell maintains is €400.00 a year . Even if it’s a bit lower you will still save a lot of money and reduce emissions I hope this gives you some helpful information and do not hesitate to contact us for a quote. .
