The wireless connected Honeywell Single Zone thermostat can now control two separate heating zones. Suited for medium sized homes, it provides a stepping stone between single thermostat homes and larger homes served by multi-zoned options.
This upgrade will benefit installers working in new-build properties, where UK building regulations require homes of 150m2 or more to have a minimum of two heating zones.
The Single Zone can be controlled manually or remotely using the Honeywell Total Connect Comfort app. With the addition of another zone valve, a Single Zone system can be turned into an S Plan Plus system, and there is no need for an additional gateway.
The Single Zone remains compatible with the evohome, offering installers the ability to offer tech-shy homeowners a basic zoning system which can easily be upgraded to a multi-zoned system in the future.
Andy Mansfield, Marketing Communications Manager at Honeywell, says: “Zoning is an effective way to reduce both energy use and fuel bills, meaning that it should be a priority for installers and their customers.
“This upgrade to the Single Zone provides installers with another tool in their kit, making it even easier to specify a connected heating system, whatever their customer’s needs.”
