Altecnic’s rebrands its heat interface units

Altecnic’s heat interface units are now collectively known as SmartSat. Smart features and benefits throughout the range include electronic control, intelligent bypass, digital commissioning, compensated heating temperatures and prepayment compatibility.

The SmartSat range includes products for generating hot water instantaneously, apartment-based combined cylinders and exchange units, and centralised storage of domestic hot water.

The prepayment compatibility makes it quick and easy to install a prepayment system. The existing control valves in an HIU are used, and a simple 2-wire connection is included in a unit’s controller as standard — so a prepayment system can be installed at any time with no modification to pipework or plumbing.
