Before deciding on a control system that we would recommend and install for our clients, we reviewed all the major brands and even looked into designing our own control system. After careful consideration of all the options we decided that the original heat control computer designed by a property owner for property owners was the best.
We chose the US Energy Heat Controller for its reliability and 'set it and forget it' simplicity of operation. We install US Energy’s EMS (Energy Management System) Heat Controllers to optimize boiler operation, reduce fuel use and provide us with overall system information with which to This EMS controls the boiler based on the INDOOR temperature, as opposed to the old outdoor temperature only heat timing device. Sensors are placed in the top floor apartments, the last place to get heat. If the top floor apartments are heat-satisfied, the boiler is turned off automatically.
Simply put, the EMS automatically manages the boiler so it runs less, runs more efficiently and burns less fuel. One of the things we liked best about the US Energy Heat Controller is that it gives us a full range of information about boiler efficiency – running times, time to pressure, water temperature, water leaks, etc. This knowledge gives us THE POWER to help avoid fuel waste normally associated with broken return lines, controls placed on by pass and dirty boilers. That is because whenever there is an abnormality the control automatically notifies us of the condition before it becomes a big fuel waster.
The US Energy control settingsare programmed remotely, then monitored continuously and automatically by the USE Monitoring service. There is nothing for the super to adjust or for the property owner to worry about. We tell our clients to Just Set It and Forget It! Then watch the fuel bills drop.
We can install any control that our clients want BUT when they ask what we recommend – Its always USE.
