Smart Heating Controls: Take Full Control of Your Comfort, Anytime, Anywhere
Take Control of Your Heating with Smart Controls
Heating technology has come a long way—and smart heating controls are at the forefront of this progress. These clever systems let you take full control of your home's or business’s heating from wherever you are. By connecting to your existing boiler, smart controls allow you to adjust your heating and hot water using your phone, tablet, or other smart devices.
Rather than relying on outdated thermostats or fixed timers, smart controls give you the freedom to manage your heating whenever it suits you. Whether you’re at home, at work, or away on holiday, you can turn the heating on or off, change the temperature, or make sure hot water is ready when you need it—all with a few taps on your screen. It’s a simple way to stay comfortable without wasting energy.
Smart Controls That Adapt to Your Lifestyle
One of the standout features of smart heating systems is their ability to learn your daily routine. Over time, they begin to understand your schedule and preferences. For example, your system might start warming up your home just before you usually get in from work or reduce the heating when it knows you’re not around. This intelligent automation means less fiddling with settings and more comfort without effort.
Control Your Heating from Your Phone
Using a simple app, you can control your heating system wherever you are. If you’ve forgotten to switch the heating off before leaving the house, no problem—just do it from your phone. If you're heading home earlier than usual, you can warm up the house before you arrive. This kind of flexibility adds real value, especially during the colder months.
GPS and Smart Location Tracking
Some smart thermostats include built-in location tracking. By using your phone’s GPS, the system knows when you’ve left home or when you're on your way back. It can turn off the heating to save energy when you’re out and turn it on again before you arrive—so your home is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk through the door.
Increased Efficiency and Lower Energy Bills
Smart controls are designed to work seamlessly with your existing boiler system. Features like weather compensation adjust the heating based on outdoor temperatures, while load compensation helps your boiler operate more efficiently based on indoor demand. These small, intelligent adjustments help reduce fuel consumption and cut down on heating costs without sacrificing comfort.
A Smart Investment for Homeowners and Businesses
Upgrading to a smart heating control system isn’t just about convenience—it’s a strategic choice to improve comfort, reduce energy use, and future-proof your heating system. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to streamline your heating or a business owner aiming to lower energy expenses, smart controls offer a practical, cost-effective solution.
