Passiv UK chose the 2024 InstallerSHOW for the debut of its smart thermostat.
The focus of the thermostat is around ease, not just for the user but for the installer, too.
Designed exclusively for use with heat pumps, the Passiv Smart Thermostat helps to deliver the things that matter most to consumers: lower bills, intuitive controls, and optimal home comfort.
To keep things simple, the Passiv Smart Thermostat does not require an internet connection to set up and can be used without one too. This makes it an ideal solution for new-build developments as well as for residents who don’t have ongoing or reliable access to the internet. For anyone else, there’s a smartphone app that adds extra functionality, such as managing the system remotely.
For installers and the customers they serve, the Passiv Smart Thermostat offers these benefits:
- Lower energy bills: The promise of low-carbon low-cost energy can be a reality. Passiv predicts savings on heating costs of up to 30% per year.
- Simple, hassle-free installation: With wired or wireless thermostats, a push-fit wiring centre, and offline set-up capabilities, you can offer customers a disruption-free experience, while boosting your daily productivity.
- Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) boost: With whole-system data analytics and efficiency tracking, customers could see an increase of up to 17% in their heat pump’s SCOP efficiency.
- Automation included: Get built-in automation for time-of-use tariffs and solar PV for lower energy rates and greater efficiency – both of which could reduce overall energy costs for the customer.
- DSR tools: Your customer can take advantage of Passiv’s first-of-its-kind automated Demand Side Response (DSR) service, allowing them to earn up to £100 each year with no disruption to comfort levels.
The installer-friendly Passiv Smart Thermostat has been designed to streamline the installation experience for everyone involved. The launch at the InstallerSHOW shows the company’s focus on creative productive solutions to help consumers decarbonise their homes while reducing energy bills.
