As market
demand continues to grow for smart functioning controls in the home leading
electrical distributor Rexel is launching a new range of its Newlec heating
products – including two Wi-Fi controlled products.
This is a
first for the Rexel own brand Newlec within this sector, with the two new
products – Newlec Wi-Fi Thermostat and the Newlec Wi-Fi Controlled Fused Spur
Timeswitch.
The Newlec
Wi-Fi Thermostat enables homeowners to control their heating via a Newlec app
on their device. It is easy to install or retrofit and controls the heating
remotely via the app that can be downloaded from the Apple Store and Google
Play Store. It functions on both Wi-Fi and 4G so users don’t need to be in an
area with Wi-Fi connection.
Conveniently,
the thermostat supports multiple users and devices so anyone in the household
can check or control the heating wherever they are.
Users can
schedule heating times over a week with up to six time and temperature periods
per day, which can also be repeated weekly saving users time. And the Newlec
Wi-Fi Thermostat has a set temperature range of 5ﹾC
to 35ﹾC with adjustments in 0.5 or 1.0 degree
steps.
The Newlec
Wi-Fi Controlled Fused Spur Timeswitch is also controlled via a Newlec app available
on Android and iOS and works with either Wi-Fi or 4G.
The
Timeswitch fits as a standard 25mm deep single wall box and can be directly
retrofit for a BS1362 fused connection unit. It is 13A rated and is suitable or
3kW applications, such as immersion heaters, a 5A inductive load, 1000W
tungsten lighting, 500W LED, 100W CFL bulbs and 500 flourescent lighting.
Running
costs can be reduced through the use of the Fused Spur Timeswitch by scheduling
heating times and cancelling unwanted programmes. And as with the Newlec Wi-Fi
Thermostat multiple users can have access to the device adding to the ease of
the product.
Phil
Wardell, Product Manager at Rexel, said: “We’re pleased to offer this new
solution across our 230 branch network, which we know is in great demand by
consumers. Smart products are only growing in popularity as they allow
homeowners to have closer control over their heating systems in this instance,
enabling easier change to pre-programmed systems and ultimately they can
contribute to a better and more efficient use of energy in the home.
“Our Newlec
controls also come with a three year warranty, demonstrating how confident we
are that the range offers reliable and high quality heating solutions.”
