Which Smart Heating do I need?

Hi

I moved into a new build recently and we have a zoned heating system (upstairs and downstairs).
We have 2 Danfoss programmable thermostats and I'm trying to understand what system I need and where it would be installed?

I'm not going to be doing this myself, but I'm wondering if because I have a programmable thermostat upstairs and downstairs, I need to install the smart receiver in the same location as those, and then use the wireless thermostat elsewhere, or mounted alongside the receiver?

My plan is to buy what I need and then arrange an installer, but I want to make sure I have the right equipment first.
Its clear I need to buy 2x Thermostats and Receivers for the multizone system, which is fine. But I'm more bothered about the fact that I might have to mount them on the wall next to each other and therefore it will take up a fair bit of space.

Thanks in advance

Rob

I suggest you speak to the planned installer, and seek their advice first before you go off and spend your hard eraned cash buying anything else

If the installer you plan to appoint has no expertise in these matters, but will simply act on your instructions, then I suggest you first appoint someone with the appropriate expertise, so that you can not only ensure you purchase the appropriate components, but also be able to instruct the installer correctly.

Had you not considered discussing with the developer your heating requirements?

Find an installer who knows what they are doing and get them to provide the kit too.


If you provide the kit, and anything goes wrong, the installer will wash his hands and blame either you for your choice of kit, or the kit itself for being faulty.


And the kit retailer and manufacturer will blame the installer.


You need one contractor who is fully responsible for supply and installation and ensuring everything works to your specification.
