Smart Heating Controls
Installing smart heating controls in your home is not only a convenient way to control the temperature, but it can also help your household save as much as 31% *on your heating and hot water bill, too.
We’ll match you with the best smart heating controls for your central heating system
Choosing the right smart heating controls for your home doesn’t have to be difficult. From popular independent manufacturer HIVE to technically magnificent Bosch EasyControl, the boiler and gas engineers at Invictus Energy Group have fitted thousands over their careers and can help you pick the one that’s right for you.
How do Smart Heating Controls work?
Smart heating controls may be more simple than you think.
While older, more conventional boilers are usually operated using the controls on the unit itself (which often feel like they need a degree in engineering to use correctly!), Smart Heating Controls are used through a separate unit, either attached to the wall, or mobile.
They feature intuitive user interfaces that make it easier to create your heating and hot water schedule, or make adjustments to the temperature in the whole of the house, or even individual rooms.
In many cases, modern Smart Thermostats also come with a dedicated mobile app, so you can even operate your boiler remotely through a 4G or WiFi internet connection.
Smart heating controls talk to your boiler via a WiFi connection, and also communicate with the radiators around your home via smart TRVs, allowing you to make micro-adjustments to each room.
Can you save money with smart heating controls?
Absolutely, but how much money you save will depend on how you utilise your smart controls, and how efficient the rest of your home is when it comes to your boiler and how well insulated your home is.
For instance, if you simply use your smart heating control to turn the entire central heating system on and off in a way that is inefficient and wasteful, you won’t benefit in the same way that you might do if you utilise the AI available on some models, or use it to control the heating intelligently by heating the rooms you use to reasonable temperatures.
Figures produced by some of the leading manufacturers of Smart Heating Controls show that you may be able to save as much as 30% or even 40% on your gas bills by using your new controls in the most optimal way possible.
At Invictus Energy Group, we can show you how you can use your heating controls to compliment your lifestyle, meaning you never overheat an empty house, but also get the service from your heating system when you need it.
