Smart Heating Controls: Control Heating from Your Phone with Ease

Warm Your Home the Smart Way

Imagine turning on your heating while you're still in bed—or switching it off from your desk at work. With smart heating controls, you can do exactly that. These clever systems let you control your heating from your phone, giving you total flexibility and comfort wherever you are.

At Thermo-Tec Plumbing and Heating, we help homeowners and landlords across Wokingham, Reading, and surrounding areas upgrade to smarter, more energy-efficient heating systems.

Total Control—Wherever You Are

Gone are the days of old-fashioned thermostats and rigid timers. With a smart thermostat (like Hive or Nest), you can:

  • Turn heating or hot water on or off remotely

  • Adjust your home’s temperature from your phone

  • Set schedules that fit around your lifestyle

  • Receive alerts if something’s wrong with your heating

So whether you're heading home early or forgot to switch the heating off, you're covered—with just a few taps on your screen.

Smart Tech That Learns Your Routine

The best part? Smart boiler controls can learn your daily habits and adjust automatically.

They’ll start to heat your home just before you wake up or arrive home—and turn things down when no one’s around. That means less fiddling with settings and more comfort, more savings, and less waste.

Let Your Heating Know When You’re Out

Some smartphone heating controls come with GPS tracking, which means your system can detect when you've left home and switch off the heating automatically.

When you're heading back, it’ll turn the heating back on—so it’s warm when you walk through the door. It’s like having a personal assistant for your boiler.

More Features, More Comfort

Smart heating doesn’t just add convenience—it’s packed with clever features to help save money too:

  • Weather compensation adjusts your heating based on the forecast

  • Load compensation helps your boiler run more efficiently

  • Zoned control lets you heat rooms separately

  • Energy usage reports help you track and reduce energy bills

These features make smart heating an investment in long-term comfort and savings.

Perfect for Homes & Rental Properties

Whether you're a busy homeowner or a landlord managing multiple properties, smart heating controls make life easier.

They offer a quick, cost-effective way to:

  • Cut energy costs

  • Keep your home warm exactly when needed

  • Avoid heating empty rooms

  • Impress tenants with modern features

And the best part? Most smart controls are compatible with your current boiler setup.
