Drayton will be once again lining up at Stamford Bridge for the annual instalment of PHEX Chelsea 2016, taking place on the 16th and 17th November.
Drayton will be showcasing its range of heating controls, including its leading TRVs and thermostats, and also the newest addition to the collection – the miGenie Wish series.

Selling smart thermostats to your customers can seem like a daunting task. You might be worried that the customer is a technophobe, or concerned that you don’t have enough knowledge to answer all their questions.
Although you may be apprehensive about jumping on the smart controls bandwagon, there is an increasing demand for these devices. Sales of smart thermostats are set to rise by a massive 40% in 2016 meaning there is great potential to boost business with smart controls installations and upgrades.

Drayton returns to the Farnborough Exhibition Centre for the next annual instalment of Screwfix Live, taking place from Friday 30th September – Sunday 2nd October.
Drayton will be showcasing its latest internet connected heating controls – the miGenie Wish series – which will be available at a discounted rate exclusive to show attendees.
