Smart Heating: Control of Underfloor Heating and Radiators

The combination of underfloor heating and radiators is a suitable solution not only for multi-story houses. It is often chosen during the renovation of old properties, as well as in new constructions, where underfloor heating on the ground floor is complemented by radiators on the upper floor. It is an efficient way of heating that benefits from the advantages of both heating systems and reduces heat loss. Whether you have decided to combine radiator and hydronic underfloor heating for any reason, with the help of smart systems you can turn combined heating into an ideal solution for your household and at the same time reduce energy expenses.

Smart Heating can also be applied for:

• radiators
• underfloor heating

Underfloor Heating and Radiators in One Application 

Smart Heating is a simple way to optimize the heating system, minimize heat loss and reduce energy costs. Compared to a classic thermostat or heating without regulation, savings in heating can reach up to 30%, without changing the temperature in your home or office. It allows full control of heating in homes, apartments, and smaller or larger commercial spaces, and contributes to a more sustainable future.

Smart solutions for controlling underfloor heating and radiators allow for the division of heating into zones (rooms) and setting individual temperatures for each. This means you heat only when and where it is really needed, and both heating systems complement each other. Smart hydronic underfloor heating recognizes the approximate size of heated rooms and evenly distributes heat regardless of the area size. The implementation of smart radiator heating is wireless, meaning individual components are easily installed and, in case of appliance replacement, disassembled and reinstalled. Both smart heating systems can be connected under one central unit (one system is always superior to the other), and it will then take care of the heating based on your requirements. 

Controlling underfloor heating and radiators is possible from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet. The applications are in Czech and designed so that controlling heating via mobile is intuitive and simple.

Smart Heating by Danfoss

Danfoss has created the smart system Danfoss Icon for underfloor heating and Danfoss Ally for radiators, which can be interconnected using a Zigbee module.
