The
terrier i-temp from Pegler
is a programmable radiator controller that offers an effective way
to provide temperature control to specific rooms at the times you
require. The i-temp replaces the head of your
existing Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV). With i-temps installed you
can set the temperature of each room in your house independently. You
can stop heating the bedrooms during the day and stop heating the
living rooms during the night. You can set the temperature of rooms to
be cooler during the day when you are active, and then warm up in the
evening when you are relaxing. Savings of 30% on your heating bills are
achievable compared with radiators fitted with classic TRVs.
Controlled field trials by the Pegler Yorkshire in association with
Longhurst Housing compared the savings made in two identical 3-bed
terraced houses, one of which had i-temp installed on seven radiators,
and the other of which had thermostatic radiator valves. The result was
that in a 24 hour period the
heating
cost of the house with i-temps installed was
£1.73
lower, and 9.17kg of CO2 was saved. If this was repeated every
day it would amount to
over
£50 of reduced heating cost per
month. Read about the
field trial here
(warning: big file).

Installation of the i-temp is
simple if you already have a thermostatic
radiator valve (TRV) installed on your radiator. Simply
unscrew the TRV head, insert the batteries (supplied) into the i-temp,
programme
it, and then attach the i-temp to the valve body. It really is a
straight switch that is very easy and quick indeed.

Programming the i-temp is
straightforward. To get you started it comes with two pre-set options,
one of which is suitable for a bedroom while the other is suitable for
a
sitting room. Read
the manual by clicking here. There is also the option of a
customised programme to suit your needs. To programme just set the
year, date and time, and then choose one of the preset, or custom
options. Install the i-temp and you are ready to go.
The temperature control can be over-ridden manually and the i-temp will
take back control at the time of the next temperature switch. There is
also a "holiday" mode which sets a constant room temperature as long as
you need it.

Compatibility
The i-temp is offered in four versions. Two versions have the valve
attached, and two are simple replacements for the head of your
Thermostatic Radiator valve. For each type there is a controller
suitable for horizontal valves and one for vertical valves. We offer
the
i-30, which is the replacement
head (without the valve) suited to
vertical TRVs. This is by far the most common configuration.
The i-temp comes with three different adaptors making it compatible
with a wide range of radiator valves. If you have a manual
valve you will need to get a plumber in to install a TRV first.
