Commercial Heating Controls Upgrade

What a commercial heating controls upgrade can include

A controls upgrade is tailored to your plant and how the building is used. It can cover:

• A site survey of the existing controls, sensors and wiring
• Replacement of failed or outdated programmers, thermostats and controllers
• Improved zoning so different areas heat only when needed
• Weather compensation and load compensation where suitable
• Control of pumps, valves and boiler sequencing to prevent short cycling
• Integration with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) where possible
• Upgraded sensors and setpoints for more stable temperatures
• Commissioning, testing and optimisation of the control strategy
• Clear labelling, O&M notes and a practical handover for onsite teams

When this service is most useful

This service is a good fit if your building has hot and cold spots, inconsistent heating times, or frequent call-outs linked to control faults. It also suits sites with changing occupancy, multiple tenants, or rising energy costs where tighter control will pay back. If your system has been altered over time, a controls review can bring it back into a coherent, efficient setup.

How the upgrade is delivered

Work usually starts with a survey to confirm what you have, what is underperforming, and what can be improved without unnecessary disruption. You will then receive a clear scope covering recommended components, control changes and any enabling works needed to install them safely. Installation is followed by commissioning to prove correct operation and to set schedules, temperatures and interlocks so the system runs as intended.

After commissioning: keeping performance on track

Once the upgraded controls are in place, small adjustments often deliver further savings, especially after a few weeks of real-world use. You can also align the upgrade with planned maintenance so controls, sensors and valves are checked as part of a PPM routine. If required, documentation and settings can be recorded to support compliance and make future troubleshooting faster.
