Outside sensor cuts out home overheating problems

IPPEC Systems has enhanced its range of gas and oil condensing boilers to further improve their energy efficiency. All IPPEC boilers are designed with fuel efficiency in mind, but the EcoHeat stainless steel gas boiler is not only fully modulating from 7 to 30 kW but also has an external sensor that adjusts the boiler output depending on the temperature outside.

Overheating of the home is therefore avoided, especially in a well insulated home, as in a standard systems this often happens when the outside air temperature increases and this is not recognised by the internal thermostat.

Often occupants open windows to cool down which wastes energy and costs money.

The company says it's "committed to energy saving at IPPEC and that is why it only offers condensing boilers, which now offer even better fuel efficiency because of weather compensation control. These boilers really do set the standard for energy efficient heating in the home".

The EcoHeat boiler is fitted with hot water priority feature and supplied with cylinder sensor for better hot water control leading to less wastage of energy. This way the boiler is said to provide heat to the space at low temperature, in the case of underfloor heating, and will switch to high temperature mode when heating the domestic hot water cylinder.
