Heating · Autoterm add-on
Your Autoterm, on the panel
For Autoterm 2D and 4D heaters. Adds schedules, timers and readable fault information - and an Auto Heat mode that keeps adjusting the heater to maintain temperature rather than leaving it on one fixed setting.
£125 including VAT
You will need: A SavvyVan3 panel and an Autoterm 2D or 4D heater. Everything the add-on needs in software is already on the panel.
What it does
-
Auto Heat
Choose the temperature you want and the panel manages the output to reach it and hold it, easing off as the van warms. Kinder than picking a setting and living with it - and quieter, since it runs gently for longer instead of starting at full power over and over.
-
Ten levels, if you would rather choose
Ten fan levels and ten burner levels, set by hand whenever you like. Fan only, with no burner, is the one people forget - useful for shifting stale air or drying the van out.
-
A week of schedule, and a timer
Warm for getting up, warm again for coming back in. Or set the timer for an hour and forget about it.
-
Faults in words
If the heater reports a fault, the screen says what it is instead of leaving you to look up a flash code in the dark.
-
Keeps the heater you have
It works with the connections already on the heater, so nothing has to be taken out and refitted.

Fitting it
- How hard
- Straightforward
- How long
- An hour
It plugs into the connections already on the heater. Auto Heat needs a temperature probe somewhere in the living space - every panel comes with one, and a second is £8.
What else you will need
- An Autoterm 2D or 4D heater already fitted
- The plug that currently goes to your Autoterm controller
- A temperature probe in the living space for Auto Heat - one comes with every panel, a second is £8
Not compatible with SavvyVan Lite v2.1 panels. Worth knowing now rather than after it arrives.
If you have a SavvyVan Lite
The Autoterm module does not work with the SavvyVan Lite v2.1 panel - the previous generation cannot talk to it. It is a panel age thing rather than anything you have done wrong, and the fix is a SavvyVan3.
