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.
