Following the Government’s recent Energy White Paper and its plans for energy supplier carbon reduction targets, plus growing concern for the environment, the new Home Energy Controller (HEC) from Smart metering specialist PRI is its premium entry product into this rapidly developing market.
The device is being trialled as part of a jointly Government-funded (BERR, DEFRA) Energy Demand Reduction Project, with EDF Energy and other partners - ahead of the Government’s aim to rollout Smart metering to all UK households over the next ten years.
For anyone wanting to connect the main sources of energy use in the home with the means to understand its use and cost, the HEC provides the solution.
Featuring a clear, easy-to-use colour touch screen graphical user interface, the unit gives the customer all the details they need of gas and electricity consumption, tariffs, payment options etc.
As an advanced hot water and heating controller, when integrated into the home heating system (including room thermostats etc) the device provides direct correlation/control of central heating energy cost - a major energy demand in the home.
PRI’s sales director Richard St Clair comments:
‘Set and forget’ is the term often used to describe the simplicity and reliability of various heating controls and programmers. However, with the Government’s plans for energy supplier carbon reduction targets, and with increasing awareness of the environment, the ‘forget’ will increasingly become a message of the past.
“People now are far more energy-conscious. This welcome mindset will help reduce energy demand and thus carbon emissions. With the development of Smart metering, there’s a real need for a new approach to domestic heating and home energy control - HEC is a significant development in this process.”
