We have reviewed a number of heating systems this year and the best was very much saved until last. In my quiet little Hobbit house, I hadn’t even heard about this Wiser device before. However, I had heard of the manufacturer - Drayton - which is one of the biggest brands in UK heating systems.
Drayton’s Wiser heating system does everything you would want it to do in the most simplistic of ways, from the installation, which I found easy (this, coming from someone who often gets confused putting together Lego, is a big, big compliment), to the use of the easy and effective app.
If you read through some of our past issues, you will see our reviews on the likes of Hive and Nest. The reviews were favourable, but neither match Wiser’s low cost! Wiser offer multiple starter and multi-zone kits, allowing you to easily install the system without having to hire in a plumber or invest in a new boiler.
We reviewed the Multizone Kit 1, which includes a one-channel thermostat and two radiator valves. We were sent this device as we have a combi-boiler, but if you had a separate hot water tank you would need to purchase their two channelled thermostat kit.
It took me around 20 minutes to fully install and that included screwing in the control box, connecting and installing the app (which works on both IOS and Android). The thermostat is wireless and powered by a pair of AA batteries. You can place this anywhere, and even take it from room to room. It has a decent colour display and clearly displays the current temperature, the programmed temperature and the current humidity level. Why pay more when you don’t have to?! RRP £219.99
