Apollo Smart Heating Oil Energy Monitor Launched

Thanks to electronic home energy monitors, homes across the country have been able to revolutionise the way they consume heating oil. These monitors have allowed users to track how much oil has been used, but until recently the technology has been unable to fully benefit rural homes.

In response to the growing demand Dunraven Systems Limited has launched the new Apollo Smart Heating Oil Energy Monitor for use in domestic heating installations.

Dunraven Systems’ Managing Director, Gerry Jones explains: “The Apollo Smart Monitor incorporates breakthrough technology to analyse fuel costs, energy consumption and carbon emissions. It does so on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. Apollo Smart displays real time temperature information too, whilst the unique ‘Days to Empty’ function reduces the likelihood of consumers running out of heating oil.

“Apollo Smart also monitors the level of oil in a consumer’s tank. And whilst most domestic oil tank monitors simply display the level of fuel inside the tank... Apollo Smart is different. It adapts for not only the height of the tank, but the shape of the tank too. This subtle yet significant difference, allows Apollo Smart to display an estimation of the volume of fuel remaining in both litres and as a percentage of tank capacity.”

The Apollo Smart Monitor can be integrated into almost any heating oil system in minutes without the need for any specialist training, tools or wiring. Unlike traditional domestic oil tank content gauges the Apollo Smart adapts to the height and size of the tank to ensure an accurate display of the fuel level remaining in both litres and as a percentage of tank volume.

Long terms cost, consumption and usage trends can also be monitored using Apollo Smart's powerful processor and onboard storage. Stored data is easy to upload onto any PC or Mac with the use of the inbuilt USB connectivity and can also be retained using the Apollo Smart App, which is due to be released soon.

The new product was launched at the Northern Ireland Plumbing & Heating Show and stands today as the first heating oil energy monitor.

Speaking at the product's global launch in Belfast, Dunraven Systems Limited's Managing Director Gerry Jones says, "The response to Apollo Smart has been truly fantastic. We've had visitors from across the UK and Ireland coming to the exhibition, just to see and to order the product.

"At a time of historically high energy costs, people have been quick to realise the advantages that breakthrough technology such as Apollo Smart can add to oil heating installations. From a technician's perspective, Apollo Smart also allows them to add real and meaningful value, to each and every oil heating installation they complete.

"Apollo Smart will be available from plumbers' merchants and fuel distributors over the next few weeks across Ireland and the UK. Indeed such has been the demand, it's already proven necessary to increase production volumes”
