My customer wants to change her control panel for her underfloor heating. She finds it too complicated and wants something more simple.

I have only ever fitted the ones that the customer has supplied along with the underfloor heating.

Here is the one she has at the moment:

Can anyone recommend one that would be interchangeable with the one above?

Thanks.
 
On the basis you are referring to electric underfloor heating, I fitted a Wi-fi app enabled Thermotouch unit for our shower room .... far easier to set up and manage imho .... not cheap though.

Heatmiser Neo Stat-e v2 might do the job
 
Are you looking for something really basic?
Does it need to be digital and programmable?
If not just go for a dial type thermostat

I did think about that, but I'm assuming the cable coming out of the present control panel goes to the thermostat under the floor which means I need one with the same function. Also the present location of the control panel is in the airing cupboard. This is just a straight swap, so a manual thermostat would have to go in the airing cupboard which would not work.
 
Manual thermostats do come with an ntc input built in..
Polypipe do them and also Honeywell..
I’ve installed quite a few for clients who don’t want to be ‘faffing about’

You'll need to establish the type of temperature sensor that is connected and find another controller that will work with that sensor.
Or try and change the temperature sensor.

Hopefully you can find a spec sheet for the existing controller online which shoukd tell you the type of sensor it has.

Most of them have the same switch rating of 16A but obviously you'll need to check the new one to confirm.
