    If anyone has any suggestions for an installer please PM me.

    Could I get an electrican to wire it up and a plumber to change the valves then bind it myself?

    That would be the cheaper option, not really a lot to the binding of the controllers, the manual is very clear on doing it. Also good to know how to do it anyway in case of future issues. Not a huge amount of work for an electrician, the plumber will be the bigger cost as he has to drain down the system to change the valves. You could tie that in with your boiler service if it suits

    Your broadband service only is required if you are trying to access the system via an app when away from the house, otherwise it works on your internal WiFi network. You may need to invest in a few extenders to cover all your house, but you'd probably want that for general use aside from the heating.

    Just to clarify Honeywell uses its own Internal "Wifi" to Communicate between its Components and is seperate and not compatabile with Normal Internet Wifi it only uses normal WiFi Internet Connection for Firmware updates and Remote Control via App or Browser and of course "Alexa"

    Also Range Extenders are not available for Evohome Components

    I put this on the back burner (pardon the pun) but was looking at the idea again. Of my 12 TRVs 11 would need adapters or a change the valve body.

    The evohome shop has a sale with a saving of £200 on the kit I need


    I was in contact with Electric Ireland and they werre not very interested but said they would not use 28 m cx 30 mm adapters but would change the valves. Their quote over the phone was outragous.

    So I am back to suggestions of a installer in the Cork/munster area. I can then weigh up the benefit of using adatpers or changing the valves.

    If somebody could PM details of any installers familiar with the Evohome I would much appreciate it.

    Thanks

    As A Very Satisfied Evohome User I would advise you to approach this from 2 Different Points of View

    The Plumbing and the Control

    If you are going to the expense of Installing Evohome Then your TRV Valve bodies are very important for the future error-free running of the system any cheap or non compatible valve bodies will cause you problems as they will stick or not have linear stroke etc

    To alleviate this I would replace ALL TRV Valves with Honeywell Valencia Bodies a very Simple Job for any Plumber or you could do it yourself if you are confident enough with the 200 you are saving you could purchase 12 new Valve Bodies You Don't have to do this but using adaptors has caused problems for other users as can be seen by posts on other forums and I know other Valves will work but if you are installing new It is a great time to get everything as good as possible

    You may not need 12 HR92 Valve heads as usually One or 2 Rads are left as Bypass Rads either in Hall or Bathroom

    Heres a Link to ones I think are Great for EVO

    https://theevohomeshop.co.uk/radiator-valve-bodies/47-honeywell-valencia-v120-15a-manual-radiator-valve-15mm-angled.html

    Once you have your Valves and Plumbing correct then its fairly easy to install EVO

    You can Place all HR92 Heads yourself and Bind them and only get Electrician to wire Boiler Demand Relay

    But get you Basic Valves right first to have many years of EVO Trouble free

    As regards Heating Control IMHO No other System can touch it as far as Multi-Room Controls concerned and that EVOhome Shop Offer is a great deal at the moment

    We live in a new build concrete home (A3 BER). Downstairs, we have underfloor heating (4 zones) and upstairs, classical rads (4 bedroom and one rad in each), of which 2 or TRV so those rooms have thermostats and two have just on-off function. Downstairs, for 4 zones we have 4 thermostats.
    While I get the evohome idea of having their TRV installed istead of manual TRV's, how is the underfloor heating managed. Do Honeywell offer thermostats for the wall?

    Wondering did you find an installer as also looking for one in Cork area ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 862 ✭✭✭regedit


    I contacted electric Ireland seeking a quotation for the evoHome.
    As stated, a 4 bedroom bedroom, underfloor heating downstairs with 4 zones and 5 rands upstairs! everything else not worth mentioning. Guy ('engineer') quoted us 3200 euro for supply and fit! Exorbitant


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 romuse


    Sorry Stoner ... wont happen again


    Hi,
    Could you PM me the contact details of the installer?

    Initially I was going with Electric Ireland and asked them for a quote for a system with 10 radiators and the answer was 2600 ..no grant as my home was newly build....

    I was quoted €1300 for an 8 Zone system for fit & supply. That was through Electric Ireland so there was rebates and SEAI grants built into that quote.
    The same company quoted €600 for fit only of an 8 zone system


    My house is build 2015 so guess no grant...when I called electric Ireland for 10 radiators they told me 2600!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭captainshamroc


    I would be interested in any installer you found around Cork and your experiences.
    I was quoted €1800 after grants for 13 rads and hot water by EI. They really didn't exactly fill me with confidence. Just didn't seem interested as someone stated above.

    But the 13 TRVs must be the guts of €1000 on their own, no?

    Yes. Think it worked out as £1150 for all the hardware including valves when I looked at buying it myself. So they were charging ~€500 plus the grant for installation. Probably a decent days work as all the valves would need replacing but still not exactly cheap.
    What put me off was they didn't ask anything except number of rads and age of the house and threw a figure out there. What if I already had manual trv on some of the rads or the rads are not all 15mm both of which I have and may affect the price. Not saying I won't use them but I would rather talk to a plumber or someone who knows more than me.
    I'll see what the sales are like around Black Friday. That might help the decision.

    We have 5 rads, 4 underfloor heating zones, hot water and the standard bits and pieces and the hardware seems to cost some 1.200 pounds but installation seems to hover around the 1K mark.
    Does anyone who has the system know if single zone wall mounted thermostats need to be installed? My thinking is that the temps can be controlled from the central controller...

    Each Zone needs to have a temp sensor installed

    the controller can act as a thermostat for one zone which would be the Zone where it is placed as it has a temp sensor built in

    on Rads you have a HR92 valve which can act as thermostat for its zone as it has a temp sensor which relays current temp back to controller and based on that controller decides if Zone needs heat or not and opens or closes HR92 so HR92 is combined actuator and sensor

    Underfloor Heating zones will need a wall mounted stat Either DTS 92 or t87rf

    For larger spaces you can also have a wall mounted wireless stat. I've 4 rads in my kitchen so have a wall stat to regulate temp in the whole room.

    One of these : https://theevohomeshop.co.uk/honeywell-evohome/78-honeywell-t87rf2033-single-zone-thermostat-only.html

    Not as pretty as the Nest but same functionality!

    Got it.
    Thanks both. So when HR92 are fitted, the installer can simply disconnect the current thermostats we have in our rooms which are very poor quality... and clearly for UF heating, for each larger zone, probably advisable to fit the T87RF2033 or if looks matter, and money isn't an issue, go for T6R-HW...

    The HR92 Valves are ok for Temp Regulation but if you really want good control A separate wall Stat is better I have a wall Stat in all my Zones and It works really well but it needs to be left alone to learn the thermal characteristic of each zone
    That last Thermostat you linked as money no object one is not compatible with Evohome System

    Hi there - would anyone be able to share their experiences pros and cons since of the Evohome? I have zoned upstairs downstairs (1 zone each) and have hot water. Have a climote at mo with hot water control and crappy danfoss wired temp stats, but looking to swap out and get an Evo home installed with HR92 valves and some wired and wireless stats.

    I'm also looking for anyone that knows an installer in the North Dublin/Meath area if possible?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    I've had EvoHome installed for 3 years now and overall I'm very happy with it. It's an expensive system but the control it gives me was exactly what I was looking for at the time. I have 8 zones + Hot Water installed and it all works well. It integrates with Google Home too although all the functionality is not available (like scheduling & hot water). The EvoHome app is fine although not as modern as it could be.

    I have a couple of smart wall stats on larger rooms like the kitchen that control the TRVs installed in that room. Gives a better temperature gauge for larger rooms rather than relying on temp gauge on TRVs themselves.

    When I bought mine, other systems like Tado didn't have TRV options. EvoHome was the only system that had TRV level control so I went with it. I'd fully investigate those options before committing.

    For installers, I'll PM you a couple to look at.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the PM and for the feedback. I liked the touch screen controller that comes with the Evo. The rest don't seem to do that. Also I read when the internet is down you lose the central control that the Evo home controller would give you. Also I read some negatives about the Tado if you want multiple zones.

    What are the negatives you read about the tado?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19 Postman Pat


    What are the negatives you read about the tado?

    Tado themselves told me it cannot replace the Climote system even though from what I read online it would appear it should be able to. I don't have any unusual setup (cold tank in attic, hot cylinder in hot press upstairs, and gas bolier which controls the heating and has a pump to pump hot water around the rads).

    I read something about zones that Tado doesn't allow you have multiple rooms/TRVs in one zone or control of multiple individual rooms via the app is not good and and overriding the temperature in rooms on a one off basis is awkward.

    Also I read that without internet you have no central control and have to go round to each stat and adjust manually to boost the heat etc.
    I also read they charge for app upgrades should they upgrade the app and features like auto control via geo fencing are under paid subscription.

    I don't have a Tado to confirm/deny these cons but maybe others that use it can.

    they might not understand exactly your query. I have Tado and my own setup is like that except I have an oil boiler.

    Tado does allow for multiple TRVs in each room/zone. One of the devices will be your measurement device for the zone. the schedules could be a bit better, you cannot copy between rooms and you don't have holiday override. still some of this stuff can be done with IFTTT and I have spent sometime creating some automations.

    The rest is pretty accurate. they do charge now 3 euro a month for some of the features like geo fencing but I think it is still worth it. you can always cancel the subscription doing the summer if you don't use heating much

    if you are without broadband you do need to change stuff manually around the house, but in reality how many times would one be without broadband? not really a concern if you have a decent connection.

    I am quite happy with it, except a few things. the TRVs might not be that accurate for large rooms and you would need to buy extra thermostats to make it spot on accurate. in fairness it is the same for any TRV including evohome or even not smart ones.

    evohome is a bit better on this as you can buy cheap thermostats just for that purpose, but Tado you need to buy a full fledged one which are a bit expensive.

  • Registered Users Posts: 862 ✭✭✭regedit


    we finally decided to proceed with the installation of Honeywell Evohome system. My plan was to purchase the hardware for the installation on amazon or other vendors online. For our 4B house, we need and UFH controller, 5 THR092HRT, rads controller heads, 1 hot water kit (ATF500DHW), 5 Y87RF2024 thermostats and the wifi connect pack.
    Straight forward enough.
    Last year I got a quotation for supply and fit and the electric Ireland provided details of an instalelr who quoted us +3000 euro. Thought that was crazy as the above kit can be purchased online for 1300 pounds.
    A kind boardster provided me the details of a reputable installer and teh quote arrived today. They did not do fit only but both supply and fit. Their quote was for 5334 Euro! Shocking Roughly 4000 euro for installing!

    Itemised: Supply & Fit Honeywell Evohome System which will control 4Underfloor Heating Zones, 5 radiators and Hot Water requirements independently through thermostatic control and a Heating Hub Programmer with remote access.

    Heating Control System to include the following:
    1 Magna cleanse rapid flush
    1 Chemical heating protector
    1 Honeywell Evohome digital Heating Controller with Remote Access and Underfloor Controller
    1 Honeywell Evohome Hot Water Kit
    5 Honeywell Evohome Radiator Controllers
    5 Thermostatic Radiator Valves
    1 Electric Motorised Valve
    1 Cylinder Thermostat
    1 immersion timer
    All associated pipe work and fittings

    One would think that at this time, installers would be more rational but, clearly not the case. Need to continue looking

    Folks,

    I'm also looking for details of an Evo installer (South Dublin - Dublin 12). If anyone could PM me details that would be appreciated.

    I did get a quote from Electric Ireland but it was €2,300 for basic + 8 rads. I've actually had that same guy do some (good) work on my house in the past so I know he's not the right peron to talk details about Evo installs. He also didn't ask any of the right questions to come up with anything other than a fairly generic quote over the phone. I know the kit is not cheap but I can't understand how that istallation part of the quote is justified given my house.

    Cheers - Gav.

    we got the kit from the evohomeshop recently and in the process of getting a competent installer who wont charge crazy bucks. The margin of profit installers add is crazy. I can understand charing 600-100 for an all day job but anything above 1000 for installation is crazy

    I got a gas boiler and evo home installed by electric Ireland, for 3.2k (including grants/discounts).

    4b semi-d in Dublin.

    Now that was 3 years ago, prices cannot have changed that much.

    Are you sure those quotes don't include a new boiler?!

    Thanks for your reply, I’m based in Cork.
    How much did the entire kit cost ?

    How much did the entire kit cost ?

    1228 pounds so roughly 1300 Euro.
    Hoping to get it installed for roughly 1000

    Can I please check for the ones who are more technologically minded how complex is the electrical wiring for UFH and for the hot water?
    Found a heating expert who is comfortable to do the rads but not the electrical portion of the job.

    Has anyone had any luck with installers for this? Have bought all the gear myself for a 3 zone system.
    I only need someone to wire the junction box connecting my 3 different zone valves to each of the BRD91 units beside the boiler. The rest I can handle myself. Very small job but fearing asking anyone after seeing the prices asked for here...

    Hi

    I did a self install with the following

    Controller, boiler relay, water heater kit, 1 x BDR91 for kick space heater and 8 x HR 92 rad controllers a few years ago.

    Added 3 more HR 92 rad controllers a few weeks ago when they were on offer with Amazon. They came with selection of adapters this time.

    Defined 11 zones on the system plus hot water.

    Wired it all myself. No real problem as motorized valve for water heating was already there.

    Wife complains about some areas of the house being cold but that is the reason for this system.

    Using online app and google to control remotely when needed.
