We all know that smart devices have transformed our lives in recent years, but did you know it’s possible to control your heating system via your smart phone? 

Smart heating controls are the future of home comfort, offering savvy homeowners more control over the comfort and warmth of their homes, adapted to your lifestyle. 

  • Comfort at your fingertips – control your heating and/or hot water from anywhere using a simple app on your smartphone.
  • Smarter scheduling – need to adjust the timer while you’re not at home? It’s easy to adjust the settings on the go. Say goodbye to heating empty spaces if you’re home later than expected.
  • Always ready for you – some smart controls can track your location or the weather, meaning your home warms up ready for your return.
  • Fuss-free upgrade – smart controls can work with most heating systems, meaning there is no need to replace your boiler to benefit from this upgrade. Even homes with older boilers can benefit from big cost and efficiency savings.
  • Small cost, big return – for a fairly small outlay (£100-200), you can benefit from savings on your energy costs. Most smart heating devices will pay for themselves within a couple of years. 

If your existing heating controls are over 12 years old, it’s time to step into the future and take control of your comfort with smart heating controls. Smarter heating means smarter living.
