What does a wiring centre do?
The Warmup Wiring Centre provides space-saving housing for your heating system’s wires. All water underfloor heating systems require use of system-dedicated heat controls to provide room-by-room heat management for your home and a wiring centre acts as a centralised hub for this function – providing connectivity for up to 9 heating zones. Looking for more information on the energy-saving benefits of multi-zone heating? Find out more in our informative guide.
The Wiring Centre also features unique technology which assists in conserving energy usage by preventing the heat source short cycling due to low flow on start-up – dramatically improving your heating’s performance and helping to save you money on your energy bills.
Is Warmup’s Wiring Centre compatible with my underfloor heating system?
As a key component of a water floor heating system, the Wiring Centre can be used with all Warmup wet systems and their associated elements. It is compatible with a wide range of Warmup thermostats and can be connected with ease to the S3 Mixing Unit and the actuators on the system’s Manifold for a fully integrated heating solution. When installed alongside these other Warmup components, the Wiring Centre comes with a market leading 12-year warranty.
Can I use the Wiring Centre alongside a central heating system too?
Offering connectivity for up to 9 heating zones, allowing you to enjoy room-by-room heating on demand, the Wiring Centre also allows for hybrid heating installations, meaning that you use it with water underfloor heating, traditional radiators and domestic hot water too – all in one property. 2 of the zones are configurable to control radiators and hot water, instead of just the typical 1, which offers a more flexible installation in a wide range of projects, from large-scale new-builds to smaller home renovations.
Is the Wiring Centre easy to install?
The Wiring Centre has been designed to make installing and commissioning a water UFH heating system a smooth and hassle-free experience. It features dedicated terminals for the zone valves, wiring terminals that are supplied already open (saving you even more time during installation) and individual commissioning switches for each heating zone, which allows activation of the heating zones directly from the Wiring Centre. And with activity indicator lights for every output, the Wiring Centre allows for easier problem solving too – helping you to identify which zones, pump, boiler and valve outputs are active at any time.
With a slimline design of just 311mm x 140mm x 50mm, the Wiring Centre helps save space in your home. It is recommended to be installed directly above your heating system’s manifold and has been designed to fit securely within Warmup’s innovative In-Wall Manifold Cabinet. It is also compatible with DIN rails.
