Energy Saving Tips: Multi zone, zoned Heating

✅ Quick Definition 

Multi zone, zoned heating is a smart heating system where each room or area has its own temperature and schedule, reducing energy waste and improving comfort.

✅ Why Multi-Zone Infrared Heating Matters Today

As energy prices rise and sustainability becomes essential, homeowners are demanding heating that is:

  • More efficient
  • More responsive
  • More intelligent
  • More compatible with renewables

At iHelios, our TÜV-tested, EcoDesign Lot 20–aligned infrared heating film provides clean, targeted warmth. When combined with multi zone control, solar PV, and battery storage, it becomes a fully intelligent, low-carbon heating ecosystem.

This is exactly the type of system supported by modern energy policy, including UK pathways in the Heat and Buildings Strategy and EU EcoDesign Lot 20 requirements.

What Is Multi Zone Heating Control?

Traditional heating uses one thermostat for the entire home.
That means wasted energy heating rooms you’re not even in.

Multi-zone control fixes that.

With iHelios Smart Control, you can divide your home into independently managed heating zones — each with its own temperature, schedule, and energy profile.

Examples:

  • Warm the living room during the evening
  • Heat your home office only during working hours
  • Pre-heat the bathroom before morning showers
  • Keep unused rooms off until needed

Using the iHelios Smart App, you can adjust every room remotely, create smart automations, and even link your heating directly to solar PV and battery storage.

Why Multi-Zone Control Matters

1️⃣ Lower Energy Consumption

Heating only the areas you use can reduce energy usage by up to 30% according to the Energy Saving Trust
Less waste = lower bills + lower carbon emissions.

2️⃣ Personalised Comfort

Every zone gets its ideal temperature:

  • Cool, restful bedrooms
  • Warm, cosy living spaces
  • Heated bathroom floors
  • Comfortable office workspace

Everyone gets the perfect climate—no compromise.

3️⃣ Smart Scheduling & Automation

iHelios Smart Control lets your home think for you:

  • Schedules for day/night routines
  • Auto shut-off when nobody is home
  • Open-window detection
  • Weekly programs
  • Eco modes
  • Holiday mode
  • Remote control from anywhere

Intelligent heating = intelligent savings.

4️⃣ Cleaner, Healthier Infrared Heat

Infrared heat:

  • Doesn’t dry the air
  • Doesn’t circulate dust
  • Feels natural and gentle
  • Reduces mould risk by warming surfacessolar panel inverter system

Perfect for modern homes and allergy sufferers.

5️⃣ Future-Ready Renewable Integration

This is where multi-zone heating truly excels.

When combined with:

  • Solar panels
  • Battery storage
  • Renewable electricity tariffs

…you can heat your home using clean, low-cost energy.

Imagine:

  • Storing your daytime solar power
  • Using it at night to heat only the rooms you need
  • Reducing grid dependence
  • Maximising self-consumption

This is the gateway to true home energy independence.

How Multi-Zone Control Works With Renewable Energy

iHelios isn’t just heating — it’s an integrated smart energy ecosystem.

☀️ 1. Solar Energy Generation

Your solar PV system generates clean, free power during the day.

🔋 2. Battery Storage

Excess solar energy is stored instead of being exported.

🔥 3. Smart Multi-Zone Infrared Heating

Your iHelios system uses this stored energy to warm the exact rooms you choose, at the exact times you need.

This creates a continuous energy loop where:

Every kilowatt is tracked

Every zone is controlled

Every schedule is optimised

The outcome:
✅ Lower energy bills
✅ Higher renewable usage
✅ Reduced grid demand
✅ A smoother path to net-zero living
