Halo Installation

Yes, the Smart Wiring Centre can run a zone with underfloor heating.

Yes, if you have installed a Halo Combi Wi-Fi 2-Zone system then you can still control both central heating zones through smart home assistants.

Central heating systems that have a hot water cylinder work in a different way to systems that run from a combi boiler. The Halo Combi controls range can't control a hot water cylinder but keep your eyes peeled for the launch of Halo Heat & System later on in 2021.

We have fine-tuned the Halo control range to ensure it gives maximum energy savings when paired with an Ideal Heating boiler. These savings would not be the same using another manufacturers boiler so we don't recommend using the Halo controls range with anything other than an Ideal Heating boiler.

No, as the Smart Wiring Centre communicates wirelessly to the Smart Interface that is connected to the boiler there is no need to run a wire from the wiring centre to the boiler.

Yes, the Halo Combi 2-Zone control is one of the only controls in the market that is fully modulating on both heating zones.

No, the smart wiring centre replaces any existing wiring centre so no additional wall space is required.

No, this kit is in addition to either the Halo Combi RF or for internet connected control the Halo Combi Wi-Fi.
