ECOMBI PLUS wifi smart static storage heater

ECOMBI PLUS is a digital, static storage heater with management of the stored charge. It is totally programmable and allows remote management and control via wifi. Its unique advantage compared to traditional storage heaters is that Ecombi Plus assesses each day the energy consumption and loss of heat in the room to determine the future need for heat. It self-regulates in an automatic way the energy charge, adjusting it to the established need for comfort.

With this smart heating, you can obtain up to 35% of savings in energy consumption compared to other, conventional storage heaters.

Ecombi Plus incorporates a new IEM (Integral Energy Manager) management module. It assesses the energy consumption by the equipment during the day, as well as the temperature measurements made to regulate the automatic charge.

With the Ecombi Plus users can choose from three operating modes:

• Manual, the storage heater will maintain at all times the temperature set point established on a 24/7 basis
• Auto, it is possible to program the storage heater by hours and days of the week, establishing one of three temperature levels: Comfort, Eco and Frost Protection
• Off, the storage heater is switched off. It will just show the time on the display panel.

It has an individual thermostat to ensure a continual and independent management of the heating needs of the room where it is installed.

Neither external charge switchboards to unite the combined installation of various pieces of Ecombi equipment nor additional timing management systems are needed.
ECOMBI PLUS is designed to store only the energy required to maintain a comfort temperature over 24 hours:

• To fulfil its objective of constant comfort, it may be necessary to release extra heat for a few minutes per day. This support resistance allows stable comfort to be maintained and also helps to regulate nocturnal charges according to the comfort enjoyed the previous day.
• Thanks to the IEM automatic control module, the system will increase or decrease the charge for the following period. Such controls ensure a thorough adjustment in consumption, maintaining comfort without consuming more than necessary.

In addition to self-regulating the load, the Ecombi Plus range of storage heaters incorporates the G Control System in its electronics.With this system, heating can be managed and controlled via wifi from anywhere via the Internet. It is only necessary to purchase a control unit that connects the storage heaters to the application. This control unit is available as an accessory.

You can gain immediate access from any mobile device, tablet or PC to all functions and make changes to the equipment immediately via the free Elnur Gabarron Wifi Control App from ELNUR GABARRON.

• Is it possible to replace old storage heaters with Ecombi Plus without altering the electrical installations in my home?

Yes, you may replace any old storage heater with an Ecombi Plus storage heater without making any alterations to your electrical installations.

• Is it possible to keep the current timer switch?

Yes. If you retain your home’s electrical panel time switch, you only need to alter the settings to the Ecombi Plus operating mode and it will operate as a conventional static storage heater.

• Which Ecombi Plus model will replace my old storage heater?

Owing to its functioning, it is possible that, with Ecombi PLUS, the necessary output of the equipment to be installed will be reduced. The ideal situation is to make the necessary calculation with our heating calculator to discover the most suitable Ecombi for the room.

• Is it necessary to install a special electrical line with a night-time tariff for Ecombi Plus?

No. Each Ecombi PLUS is fitted with a digital time switch, enabling it to be connected to a normal light point. This storage heater does not need to be supplied by a special line with a time switch, as in the old installations.

• Which Ecombi Plus model do I need?

ELNUR GABARRON will provide you with a heating calculator that takes into consideration the characteristics of each room in the house and the climate in your area to calculate the most suitable installation for your home.

• Do I need to change my electrical tariff?

As it is heating equipment that exploits the most economical energy period to generate heat, we recommend that you use a tariff that includes one or several off-peak periods throughout the day.

• Does Ecombi Plus consume less than conventional storage heaters?

Yes, Ecombi PLUS allows consumption to be managed in an intelligent way, based on thermal needs.
To that end, it monitors the room temperature during the entire 24 hours of the day and establishes the necessary level of charge to maintain the selected temperature. So, it avoids unnecessary consumption.

• Is it complicated to configure Ecombi PLUS storage heating equipment?

No, Ecombi PLUS comes with factory settings , so it can start to operate quickly and easily.
If your off-peak tariff adjusts to the default setting configured in the equipment, just select the desired operating mode: Manual or Programmed. The equipment will start to operate automatically, by adjusting the daily charge and providing the desired comfort at minimum cost.

• Is any maintenance required?

No, as the Ecombi PLUS storage heater is a 100% electrical system and no combustion occurs during its operation, it is totally safe and does not require any maintnenance whatsoever.

• Can I adjust the capacity contract to the operation of the different Ecombi PLUS equipment?

Yes, it is possible to rationalize the simultaneous output of the heat storage equipment in order to alter its operation and therefore avoid a high output contract.

• How can I rationalize the simultaneous output?

To rationalize the simultaneous output, it is essential to connect the equipment to the Elnur Wifi Control App via WiFi with the switchboard control HUB.
In addition, the PM rationalizer will be installed in the home’s electrical panel to inform the App of the home’s total consumption. Finally, it is possible to indicate the maximum capacity of the house contract. So, the App will alternate the operation of the equipment when it detects that total consumption is about to exceed the contracted output.

• What are the advantages of Ecombi Plus WiFi control?
  • Remote control and full management. You can manage the Ecombi PLUS equipment via any Smartphone, Tablet or device with an Internet connection (On / Off, program, temperature control, equipment settings, etc.).
  • Recording of consumption and temperature. You may see, at any time and via the App, a graphic to show all the historic data for consumption and temperature.
  • Rationalize the output of your home. In order not to exceed the contracted output during periods of high consumption, the various equipment units distribute output amongst one another through an automatic disconnection.
  • Location detector. The Ecombi PLUS storage heater georeferences your location via your mobile device.
• Is it necessary to install G Control Hub for WiFi management?

Yes, the G Control Hub switchboard plays a vital role in controlling the equipment via the Elnur WiFi Control App.

What is more, you should download the Elni WiFi Control App on your mobile device and use it to control your storage heaters.

• How many Ecombi Plus storage heaters may I control with one G Control Hub?

For every G Control Hub switchboard, you may control up to 31 Ecombi Plus storage heaters.

• Can I reduce the total output contracted with the electrical company?

Yes, it is possible to adjust the contracted output, including the G Control PM device.

• What is G Control PM?

It is a device that records the home’s total consumption and enables the rationalization via the App of the capacity consumed by the Ecombi Plus installed.


• How does the G Control PM controller work?

The G Control PM power controller reports directly to the home’s electrical consumption system. When it is about to exceed the contracted capacity, the system will manage the connection or disconnection of the different Ecombi Plus installed so that it will never exeed the maximum output. The final result is a more precise adjustment to the contracted capacity and, consequently, a lower bill for you.

• How do I install the G Control PM controller?

The G Control PM controller is fitted in a DIN rail of the electrical panel. It is connected to an intensity gauge to discover the output of the home’s total consumption.
