Controls for rental properties

[mutley racers]

Hi all. I hope you are all keeping busy.

Just wondering what controls people are putting into rental properties on combi boilers. As most controls are smart and be controlled from a phone, I am not sure if this is the best option due to a high turnover of tenants. But then again, it could be good for the landlord to control the heating when no one is in.

What are you putting into properties these days.

Cheers

I work in social housing, we fit Siemens RDH100RF thermostat’s or Honeywell T3R’s in vast majority. We have trialled some switchee thermostat’s which are aimed at landlords, however I think they have a hefty price tag, something like £300

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like you are the perfect person to advise on this. Although I am looking after private landlords. Will look into the controls mentioned. Never heard of switchee but yes, doubt anyone would want to pay 300. Will still have a look.

Hi Shaun. Have used these a couple of times as really good price. I have only noticed them the last couple of years so are they a new company? If yes, do the controls last?

No personal experience, but according to their domestic brochure:

they've been in business 26 year and their stuff has a 5-year warranty.

That is really good to know. Thank you for checking this out. Appreciate it

I’ve used them since 2017 and only had one bad cp4 which then sent out next day
