The iconic Drayton TRV4 was first manufactured in 1992 and the TRV4 is still widely recognised as a ‘TRV for life’ with over 16 million sold to date.
To celebrate, we’re sharing the hidden features that you may not be aware of that have made the TRV4 an installer favourite.

Drayton has launched a new online training academy as part of its installer loyalty scheme, the 9° Network. 9° Know How gives members exclusive access to product training, best practice installation advice, troubleshooting tips and more.
The first available training module is focused on Wiser, Drayton’s smart multi-zone heating system, and allows installers to achieve Wiser Approved status from the comfort of their own home.

Heating data anywhere, anytime with just a tap of the app, discover how the new Heat Report helps users master their home heating.

November saw the launch of a brand-new range of the popular Digistat with a Service Interval feature, developed to extend and improve the range of programmable thermostats on offer and meet the demands of the Local Authority contract business.
Key features of the new product include a flexible service interval mode with three options and adjustable warning/service periods, i.e. reduced comfort setting, completely off setting and no effect setting.  Also included is a selectable audible alarm and boost feature.

After well over a year in the marketplace, we’re looking back on the journey of Wiser from new kit on the block to leading multi-zone smart heating control system.

If you’ve not seen it yet, Wiser is our beautifully simple multi-zone heating system. Easy to install from app to thermostat, Wiser is the altogether better, smarter, easier way to personalise home heating.
Since Summer 2018, we’ve been on the road providing smart heating controls training to professionals across the UK mainland, giving them the exclusive opportunity to become a Wiser Approved Installer. As the roadshow continues this winter, we’re looking for more qualified professionals to promote and install the Wiser heating system.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve launched a Wiser channel on ‘If This Then That’ (IFTTT), the Internet of Things platform, for use with our Wiser range of smart heating controls.
IFTTT is a web-based service that can be used to create Applets, which are commands that pair up smart devices in ways that can make life easier. This combines two basic elements - a trigger (‘If This’) and an action (‘Then That’).

To celebrate the 25-year anniversary of not one, but two of its leading products- the Lifestyle LP programmer and the iconic TRV4 – Drayton is giving back with an exciting giveaway to celebrate the milestone.

In the spirit of random acts of kindness, Drayton is granting the wishes of installers by offering one lucky winner the chance to win not one, not two, but three miGenie Wish packs.
British built to last, the miGenie Wishes are suitable for all applications to make installation easier and ensure the installer has the perfect solution for every job.
Featuring smart technology, enabled by an intuitive app that users download onto their iOS or Android devices, the miGenie Wishes are extremely user friendly.

It’s that time of year again and Drayton will be exhibiting at Installer 2017 in Coventry.  The show will take place from 9th - 11th May at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.  If you're interested in attending, you can register here.
It’s a hands-on show, so come and take a look and have a go with our miGenie range of smart controls. Their ease-of-use and 10-minute installation has cemented the product’s popularity with installers and consumers alike

Once again this year we are supporting Comic Relief by fundraising for Red Nose Day 2017 with our quirky ‘Brainspotting’ campaign!
We’ve taken inspiration from the silver screen and created our very own movie poster – ‘Brainspotting’ - featuring some of the key faces in the Drayton family.
Film buffs will be familiar with the iconic poster, originally created for the movie Trainspotting, based on the book by Irvine Welsh.
Our version of the poster introduces Tech Head, Boss Lady, Plastic Boy, The Supplier and Space Cadet, who are the brains behind the brand.

Drayton has joined forces with its local community charity, Plymouth Energy Community (PEC), to provide free heating controls as part of a campaign to help the most vulnerable people living in the city.
As part of the PEC ‘Healthy Homes’ project, which has been funded by a charitable grant from the British Gas Energy Trust, Drayton has donated over 200 heating controls, worth in the region of £10,000.
