Heating & Control Wiring
In the UK, various heating systems utilize different types of wiring and controls. Some common types include:
Central Heating Systems
These often involve a boiler, a thermostat, and radiator valves. Wiring includes connections between the thermostat, boiler, and motorized valves for zone control.
Underfloor Heating Systems
Typically include wiring for the thermostat, temperature sensors, and actuators controlling the flow of warm water through the underfloor pipes.
Electric Heating
This involves wiring for electric heaters, storage heaters, or panel heaters, often controlled by thermostats or timers.
Smart Heating Controls
Modern systems may include smart thermostats, which require specific wiring for communication with smartphones and other devices.
Combination Boilers
Wiring for combination boilers involves connections to a thermostat, pressure sensors, and sometimes external controls for more advanced features.
