With the energy crisis gradually intensifying, air source heat pump attracts much human attention. E-Top is also committed to the research and development of air source heat pump temperature controllers/Room Thermostats
A heat pump thermostat's basic function is based around the temperature, when the temperature indoor falls below the set number, thermostats will know to turn the heat pump on. The heat pump is switched off once the set temperature is reached.
There are three types of thermostat suitable for air source heat pump : mechanical thermostat, electrical thermostat, and smart thermostat.
Mechanical thermostats are the least expensive of the three, like a standard manual thermostat they are basic in terms of function, allowing you to turn your heat pump on or off. Electrical thermostats can be programmed with details like date and time, and whether you’d prefer manual or automatic functioning. Smart thermostats can do all the above, whilst allowing you to connect wirelessly via your phone or smart device. You can use an app to operate and schedule your smart thermostat.
Smart heat pump thermostats make sure that there is sufficient heating/cooling inside house at all times. We have WiFi and zigbee Smart thermostat for selection, for more information, pls. contact info@etopcontrols.com
The HVAC home climate control takes large percentage of home owner bills monthly and the important of the thermostat climate controllers has become really important to save your bill. Though there’re traditional thermostats , which are normally without a digital display, or any smart activity, it’s convenient for interaction for older people but it’s eliminated from the distributors/ amazon sellers..
Mechanical thermostat, an example below,
There are several reasons why you might need to replace a mechanical thermostat. Here are a few of the most common reasons:
Accuracy: Mechanical thermostats are not as accurate as digital thermostats. This can lead to your heating or cooling system running longer than necessary, which can waste energy and money.
Programmability: Mechanical thermostats are not as conveninent as a smart programmable thermostat, which means you cannot set them to automatically adjust the temperature in your home throughout the day. This can lead to your home being too hot or too cold at certain times, which can be uncomfortable and wasteful.
Durability: Mechanical thermostats are not as durable as Smart thermostats. They are more likely to break down, which can leave you without heat or cooling in your home.
Style: Mechanical thermostats are not as stylish as smart digital thermostats. They can look outdated and out of place in a modern home.
Smart Thermostat, an example below,
If you are considering replacing your mechanical thermostat, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, you will need to make sure that the new thermostat is compatible with your heating and cooling system. Second, you will need to decide what features are important to you. Do you want a programmable thermostat? A thermostat with Wi-Fi connectivity? A thermostat with a touch screen? Once you have decided what features you are looking for, you can start shopping for a new thermostat.

"There is no end in sight to the decline in European electricity demand." Bloomberg reported that the International Energy Agency (IEA) pointed out in a report released on July 19 that due to the impact of energy price shocks and slowing economic growth, European electricity demand will decline this year. Or it will decline by 3%, down to the level of 2002, and the electricity demand in the United States and Japan will also decline to varying degrees. At the same time, the report predicts that the electricity demand in China and India will continue to rise, which will lead to an increase of nearly 2% in global electricity consumption this year. In particular, China's electricity demand may achieve an annual growth rate of 5.2% in the next two years.
According to a report released by the International Energy Agency, under the impact of energy prices, heavy industries across Europe have shut down on a large scale, and the corporate bankruptcy rate in EU countries has jumped to the highest point since 2015. In the first half of 2023, European electricity demand fell by a record 6% from two years ago, with two-thirds of last year's reduction in electricity consumption being caused by industrial weakness.
"The competitiveness of Europe's energy-intensive industries is threatened by soaring energy costs, and the road ahead is not smooth." The International Energy Agency warned that although global energy prices have retreated from last year's record highs, European industrial output has remained stable. Lag, seriously affected the industrial competitiveness of Europe. The report noted that under the influence of overseas subsidy policies such as the US "Inflation Reduction Act" (IRA) and Japan's "Green Transformation Promotion Act", European factories have fallen into the predicament of reducing production or shutting down, and industrial investment is also facing stagnation or transfer.
EU-wide industrial output fell by 1.3% between February 2022 and March 2023, Euronews cited the latest figures from the European Union's statistics agency. Germany has been more affected. In May this year, German industrial output fell by 0.2% month-on-month, which was lower than market expectations, raising concerns about a long-term recession. German industrial giants like BASF and Volkswagen have cut domestic production and are looking abroad.
For example, in China, BASF's integrated base project in Zhanjiang, Guangdong has officially started production. BASF also announced in July that it will build a new offshore wind farm with Chinese partners. On May 30, Volkswagen Group and Hefei Economic Development Zone jointly signed an agreement to invest 1 billion euros to establish an electric vehicle development, innovation and procurement center in Hefei.
The report of the International Energy Agency also predicts that, except for Europe, electricity consumption in the United States and Japan will decline: the electricity demand in the United States is expected to drop by nearly 2% this year, and Japan will drop by 3%.
In response to the current plight of European industry, the International Energy Agency stated that the EU can increase state aid or increase energy price subsidies, but this may bring burdens to consumers and taxpayers. Another option is to step up support for renewable energy to power green heavy industry, but that could come with high upfront costs. The agency predicts that by 2024, renewable energy will account for more than one-third of global electricity generation.
Under the trend of global carbon neutrality, energy saving and emission reduction have become the top priority of the whole planet. At present, boilers and heat pump systems are the most used in family life in the European market. In many cases, household electricity is used Losses are often higher than we expect. According to research data, the current unnecessary loss of household electricity consumption is as high as 37%, which not only brings a burden to the power system, but also generates many unnecessary bills. Therefore, many smart devices have been derived on the market to reduce these unnecessary losses. For example, thermostats are currently the most used in Europe. At present, almost 80% of households will install different types of thermostats, such as mechanical thermostats, smart thermostats, wifi remote control thermostats, programmable digital thermostats, etc. Etc., there are many kinds. Choosing a suitable thermostat can indeed reduce household bills. According to survey statistics, the energy-saving efficiency of smart thermostats can reach 22%. It can save unnecessary power consumption from multiple angles: such as forgetting to turn off when you go out Cooling or heating equipment, forget to close the window when turning on the cooling or heating equipment. At the same time, it can also adjust the indoor temperature according to the user's habits. For example, when you are about to go home from get off work, the smart thermostat will be turned on within 15 minutes before you arrive home, so that you can feel the most comfortable experience as soon as you arrive home. A best thermostat can not only save you money on bills, but also improve the happiness of life.

May marked a milestone in the EU's transition to clean energy when solar panels generated more electricity than all coal-fired power plants in the bloc for the first time. The frantic expansion of solar power promises to displace fossil fuels, but the breakthrough has also exposed flaws in the energy system.
On some of the sunniest days in May, electricity prices turned negative as grid operators struggled to cope with the surge. While solar power is a quick solution to the energy crisis triggered by Russia's squeezed natural gas supply in 2022, the downside is that the technology is best during times when solar resources are abundant, as demand is usually low. Systems that store the energy in batteries or by generating green hydrogen aren't advanced enough to keep summer sunlight lit at night or heat homes in winter.
The solar boom and adjustment risks are most evident in the Netherlands.
With more than 100 megawatts of solar panels per 100,000 inhabitants, the Netherlands is twice as many as Spain and more than three times as many as China, by far the world leader in total solar capacity. The Netherlands claims to have the densest solar network on Earth, thanks in large part to longstanding government support. The program rewards homes that install solar panels, with each watt of electricity generated offsetting energy bills.
The Dutch government did this to incentivize solar panels, but it has been a bit too successful, said Jorritde Jong, a spokesman for Dutch grid operator TenneT, which has seven rooftop solar panels and accounts for at least 80 percent of its annual household electricity consumption. .
The Dutch government plans to change the system from 2025. Under the new rules, households that send electricity back to the grid will be able to deduct a reduced amount from their annual bills. Producers will only benefit from the electricity they actually consume until 2031 and will not be compensated for any excess.
All over Europe, people are following the Dutch example. EU solar panel installations have accelerated since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In May, production was up 10% from the previous year, reaching a record 27 TWh. Solar energy has the key advantage of being fast to install compared to wind, hydro or geothermal energy. All it takes is an incentive for homeowners or real estate companies to turn their rooftops into mini energy parks. But the grid is built around large generators that work in tandem with grid operators to keep the network balanced. A more distributed system is harder to manage and will be tested this summer.
While record solar and wind production has helped to phase out coal and gas plants at an alarming rate by 2023, the EU is still a long way from meeting its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Better coping with the ebb and flow of renewable energy generation will require a new kind of flexibility in the power system, not necessary when all the electricity comes from a few giant fossil fuel and nuclear power plants that can be built according to demand Turn it up or down. There are various ways to adapt. Batteries connected to the grid can use power during the sunniest or windiest parts of the day to sell when renewable energy production is low. Consumers can also be incentivized to use electricity during peak production periods. This is especially important as more electric vehicles hit the road and homes switch from traditional boilers to heat pumps.

At present, boilers and heat pump systems are the most used in family life in the European market. In many cases, household electricity is used Losses are often higher than we expect.

The working principle of the thermostat - introduction
The thermostat, the full name of the temperature controller (Thermostat) is also called the temperature control switch, temperature protector, divided into two categories: mechanical thermostat and electronic thermostat, it is mainly based on the temperature change of the working environment, the physical deformation occurs inside the switch, so as to produce some special effects, a series of automatic control elements that produce on-on or disconnection actions, or the different principles of the working state of the electronic components at different temperatures to provide temperature data to the circuit to collect temperature data for the power circuit.
The working principle of the thermostat is to automatically sample and monitor the ambient temperature through the temperature sensor, and the control circuit starts when the ambient temperature is higher than the control set value, and the control differential can be set.
The thermostat is composed of four mechanisms: a conversion display mechanism, a setting mechanism, a comparison calculation mechanism, and an output mechanism. When the temperature sensor converts the field temperature into an electrical signal and transmits it to the thermostat, the conversion display mechanism of the thermostat converts the electrical signal into a digital display or an analog indication out, and after comparing it with the setting value of the setting mechanism internally, it is output to the controller through the output mechanism, and then the controller controls the heater cooler again.
Advantage of electronic digital room thermostat
In terms of appearance, the electronic thermostat has a beautiful appearance, and the keys are easy to operate From the perspective of temperature control, the electronic type can set a temperature and operate automatically, the LCD digital display temperature, intuitive, and also contains programming, power-off memory and other functions, and the temperature control accuracy is more accurate In terms of price, the price of the electronic type is generally more expensive than the mechanical type to more than 2-3 times.
Nowadays, there are fewer mechanical thermostats, and people are more inclined to various popular appearances, such as programming thermostats, WIFI thermostats, LED display thermostats, ink screen thermostats and other more novel elements. Anything you need, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Electric floor heating thermostat is a kind of end control product, mainly used to control the temperature of electric floor heating equipment. It can set the switching machine or room temperature according to the need for time segments, mainly through the probe to achieve the accuracy of temperature adjustment. There are various types of electric floor heating thermostats, and different types of electric floor heating thermostats have different effects.
There are two main types of electric floor heating thermostat: mechanical and electronic, mechanical using sensitive gas membrane box or thermal bimetal sheet as temperature sensing elements, forming a temperature control switch of mechanical contact. This kind of thermostat in Europe and the United States more market, mechanical heating thermostat usually contact current is not more than 8A, suitable for water heating system control valve open and close. The electronic heating thermostat is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC), the relay contact control output, according to the size of the contact current to distinguish, the conventional specifications are 3A, 5A, 8A, 16A, 20A, can meet the water heating system and large load (400W below) of the electric heating system control requirements.
The electric floor heating room thermostat is usually installed on the wall of the rooms, and people can control the electric floor heating switch by setting the temperature on the thermostat. When the indoor temperature is lower than the set value, the thermostat will automatically turn on the electric floor heating equipment, so that the indoor temperature rises; When the indoor temperature is higher than the set value, the thermostat will turn off the electric floor heating equipment to keep the indoor temperature stable.
Due to the high frequency of use of electric heating equipment, long-term use may cause some damage to the equipment, and by using the electric heating thermostat, people can better control the switching time of electric heating equipment, avoid frequent opening and closing of the equipment, thereby extending the service life of the heating equipment.
Nowadays, People can use smart phone to control the room temperature, some even can be a voice controlled thermostats.
Electric floor heating thermostat has a high safety, it uses advanced temperature sensors and circuit protection system, can accurately monitor temperature changes, and automatically cut off the power in abnormal circumstances, to protect equipment and personnel safety. By precisely controlling the temperature, energy waste can be effectively reduced, carbon emissions can be reduced, and environmental protection has a positive contribution.
Over the years, heat pumps have attracted much attention due to the duality of their core functions. In the winter, heat pumps work like heaters, taking care of your heating and hot water needs, while in the summer, they can turn into air conditioning units. This two-in-one heating and cooling function is not commonly found in conventional boilers and heating systems, making air and ground source heat pumps all-rounders. Because of their specialized heating and cooling capabilities, heat pumps require a custom thermostat to work effectively. Thermostat technology has evolved significantly over the years, giving you energy-saving options that can be paired with a heat pump installation for superior heating performance.
Thermostats for Heat Pump – How They Work!
Thermostats for heat pumps have one simple job to do – they switch the heat pump on or off as per the predefined input criteria, like the current room temperature, time of day and other smart home features.
Its basic function is based on temperature. When the temperature indoors falls below the set number, the thermostat will turn the heat pump on. The heat pump is switched off once the set temperature is reached and your home is heated to suit you.
Thermostat settings can work around specific times of day or by a predefined schedule depending on whether you are home or not.
Types of Thermostat
There are three types of thermostat which differ in the way they perform. These are mechanical room thermostat, electrical thermostat and smart thermostat.
The least expensive is the mechanical thermostat, as there’s no defined functionality as such. You key in the temperature as per your preference and turn it on or off. Electric thermostats, on the other hand, can be programmed with details like date and time and whether you’d prefer manual or automatic functioning.
Smart thermostats can do everything that its electrical counterpart can do and on top of that, it connects wirelessly to your mobile phone or any smart home device. You can use an app to program, operate and schedule your smart thermostat from virtually anywhere.
Compatibility
Thermostats are not universal in their operation as they might not work with all types of HVAC units. This is why you have to be sure that the thermostat model you choose is compatible with the heat pump installed in your home. If your thermostat is compatible, it can replace most other thermostats as it operates your heat pump, air handler, AC, fans and ventilation. Some models are designed to control humidifiers and dehumidifiers as well.
Programmability
Smart and electric thermostats are programmable. If you wish to set up custom functions for your thermostat, mechanical thermostats are probably not for you. Based on the time of day or day of the week, you can program the settings and set temperature as per your convenience and requirements. Your thermostat will only switch on once the required room temperature is reached and only between the pre-scheduled timings.
WiFi Accessibility
WiFi accessibility is only possible in smart thermostats. To operate your heat pump at peak efficiency, you can connect to your home network using mobile apps, voice commands or third party controls. Using smart technology, you could teach your thermostat to learn and identify your habits as it begins to operate the heat pump on its own without any input required from you.
