Heat pump compatible controllers and thermostats
Heat pumps are efficient, sustainable and cost-effective. But they can be damaged by frequent cycling. Honeywell Home’s heat pump controls allow your customers to safely adjust their comfort settings.
Universal heat pump controllers
Managing multiple central heating pump controls for the different solutions your customers have selected can be challenging. Resideo has a better solution. We’ve developed controls that are compatible with multiple brands, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Our first option, the T3/T3R programmable thermostat is an ideal option for customers who want a basic wired or wireless heat pump with programmable times and temperatures.
For customers that want more control over the system, our evohome advanced heat pump control system includes a time and temperature multi-zoning feature. Homeowners can adjust heating and cooling from their smartphones and tablets.
Both the T3/T3R and evohome are already trusted by professional installers for use with traditional central heating systems. Now we’ve updated their installer parameters for easy heat pump integration.
Finally, for customers with wet underfloor heating systems, our HCC100 is a versatile, purpose-built, multi-zone controller. It can be used as a standalone heat pump control controller or alongside our evohome system.
Control your heat pump with a simple thermostat
Heat pumps are very efficient if they’re used correctly. The appliance can be configured to stop automatically when a room reaches its temperature setpoint. However, manufacturer controls should not be touched or changed by the end user, but they often are. And that’s when problems occur.
Installing a heat pump thermostat is the easiest way for your customers to adjust their comfort settings without altering the overall manufacturer controls. They allow homeowners to safely and simply access all the benefits of a smart, efficient home heating system.
To achieve this, customers can rely on the T3/T3R, the simplest heat pump programmable thermostat in our range. It provides automatic time and temperature control for heating systems in domestic properties or light commercial premises.
With the T3/T3R, your customers can “set and forget” their thermostat while still running an energy-efficient home.
Heat pump smart control with WiFi enablement
As a heating expert, your role is to help your customers make the right investment and choose the product that fits the best with their needs. If your customers want more than a simple thermostat, a smart heat pump controller will give them advanced home heating features. Resideo’s evohome smart thermostat for heat pump enables homeowners to individually control up to 12 smart heating zones throughout their property. This strikes a balance between economy and comfort. Your customers can create a cosy environment in the rooms they’re using – turning down the heating in rooms that are empty.
Our evohome controller is WiFi-enabled, so your customers can use an app to change their settings from any location.
Heat zoning can also be implemented for customers with wet underfloor heating systems. The HCC100 has six wired zone thermostat inputs that can control up to eight zones when combined with wireless thermostats.
How to easily control a heat pump
Many homeowners worry they don’t know how to control a heat pump, and it stops them from taking the leap. But the truth is, they don’t really need to know. That’s because heat pumps are designed to maintain their setpoint temperature. They automatically detect and correct errors caused by external changes like outside temperatures, weather and solar gain.
The system can also adjust to changes inside the home, such as visitors or cooking appliances warming the room more than usual. With the internal settings taken care of, all your customers will need smart controls to fine-tune temperature settings to their liking.
Our central heating pump thermostat range makes it easy for homeowners to tweak the climate in each room.
More importantly, they can change these temperatures without tampering with the heat pump itself – so you won’t have to worry about emergency callouts!
Heat pump control system made simple
When it comes to heat pump control, less is more.
Unlike traditional heating systems, which cycle the boiler on and off several times per hour, heat pumps have lower outputs. They warm up gradually and need less control when the temperature nears its setpoint.
Frequent cycling can actually damage the system and impact its efficiency – so you need to install compatible controllers that can work seamlessly with the device.
Resideo’s thermostats and controllers are ideal for that, since they’re only classified as heat pump ready if they can cycle an appliance once per hour with 30 minute minimum on times. Our T3/T3R smart thermostat and evohome smart heat pump controller are built to make it easy for your customers to control home temperatures while being energy efficient.
The best programmable thermostats for each heat pump
Finding the best thermostat for a heat pump doesn’t always mean choosing the manufacturer model. If you’re installing and maintaining multiple types of pumps, a universal heat pump control is often simpler.
The T3/T3R and evohome are programmable thermostats that work with multiple brands. You can install the same controller time after time, rather than getting your head around several different devices.
Even better, both thermostats have state-of-the-art controls that allow you to configure your customers’ system for maximum comfort. Thanks to this, you can recommend the best heat pump thermostat settings to your customers and show them how to adjust temperatures without touching the main pump.
But what thermostat is the best? That depends on the customer: the T3/TR is best suited to people who are less tech-savvy and just want a simple thermostat. The evohome is ideal for customers who want greater heat pump zone control.
Digital, smart and remotely controlled thermostats for heat pumps
By choosing a cutting-edge heat pump controller, you're not just fitting a new system for your customers, you're unlocking their heat pump system’s full potential.
The Honeywell Home evohome smart thermostat for heat pumps features multi-zoning technology, allowing your customers to individually manage the temperature in up to 12 zones of their property. By only heating the areas of the home being used, they can save time and money.
Plus, the evohome system can be controlled from your customers’ smart devices via the Total Connect Comfort Intl App.
With the app downloaded, homeowners can manage heat pump zone control from anywhere in the house, or adjust the settings while they’re out and about.
You can also manage our HCC100 controls for wet underfloor heating systems via the Resideo Pro app, which shortens and simplifies the commissioning process for installers. The HCC100 is compatible with the evohome controller.
House temperature control with heat pump compatible thermostats
Easy to use heat pump controller boards
"To maximise the performance of your customers’ heat pumps, you need a controller that is easy for you to install and easy for them to use.
Resideo’s heat pump smart control range is perfect for that, enabling professional installers to match the right thermostat to your customers’ needs.
If your customer takes a hands-off approach to home heating, the T3/T3R is the best option. It’s the simplest way to achieve heat pump temperature control with a programmable thermostat.
On the other hand, if your customers want to micro-manage their home climate, the evohome Smart Home Solution is a great fit. Use the System Builder to help them effortlessly configure a tailor-made heating system.
Whichever controller you choose, by installing Resideo technology you're equipping your customers with smart, efficient thermostats to drive their home heating.
Perfect climate control with heat pump thermostat
If your customers are wondering how to control a heat pump for the perfect level of warmth, here’s a quick explanation.
Heat pumps take a “low and slow” approach to heating the home. They run have lower outputs than standard central heating systems, warming up gradually until the temperature reaches its setpoint.
As the system doesn’t cycle the boiler like a traditional heating system, it requires less energy, which can make them more cost effective to run.
The key to climate control is, however, to ensure the pump only heats up to its desired temperature setpoint – never over. Otherwise, it can become more expensive to run than a gas boiler.
Installing a thermostat for heat pump control allows your customers to adjust times and temperatures whenever they want without impacting their pump’s performance.
