What Is a Smart Thermostat?

A smart thermostat is a WiFi-connected device that lets you control your heating and hot water from your smartphone, tablet, or computer - from anywhere in the world. No more coming home to a cold house or wasting money heating an empty home.

Smart thermostats learn your habits, create schedules, and can even detect when you leave home to turn the heating off automatically. Many work with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Home, and Siri.

Benefits of Smart Thermostats:

Remote control - Adjust heating from anywhere via app

Geofencing - Automatically turns off when you leave
Learning capability - Adapts to your routine
Voice control - Works with Alexa, Google, Siri

Holiday mode - Set temperature while you're away

Smart Radiator Valves & Multi-Zone Heating

Control each room independently for maximum comfort and savings

What Are Smart Radiator Valves (TRVs)?

Smart thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) replace your existing radiator valves and let you control the temperature of each room individually from your phone. No more heating empty bedrooms or turning the whole house up just to warm the living room.

Benefits of Multi-Zone Heating:

Room-by-room control - Set different temperatures for each room
Save even more money - Only heat rooms you're using
Individual schedules - Warm bathroom in morning, living room in evening
Presence detection - Some detect when room is occupied
Window detection - Turns off if window left open

Perfect For: Larger homes, families with different schedules, home offices, spare bedrooms that don't need constant heating.

Example Multi-Zone Setup

A typical 3-bed semi-detached house:

Room	Schedule
Living Room	21°C evenings & weekends
Kitchen	19°C mornings & evenings
Master Bedroom	18°C overnight only
Kids' Bedroom	20°C evenings
Spare Room	15°C frost protection only
Bathroom	22°C mornings only

This setup could save you 20-40% compared to heating the whole house to one temperature.

Smart Thermostat FAQs

Will a smart thermostat work with my boiler? ▼

Most smart thermostats are compatible with the majority of combi, system, and regular boilers. We'll check your existing setup during installation and ensure full compatibility. If your boiler is very old or unusual, we'll let you know and recommend alternatives.

How long does installation take? ▼

A basic smart thermostat installation typically takes 1-2 hours. Multi-zone systems with smart radiator valves take longer depending on the number of valves - usually half a day for a whole house setup. We'll give you an accurate timeframe based on your requirements.

Do I need a professional to install a smart thermostat? ▼

While some smart thermostats are marketed as DIY, we strongly recommend professional installation. Incorrect wiring can damage your boiler or create safety hazards. Professional installation ensures proper setup, app configuration, and we can check your heating system is working optimally at the same time.

Which smart thermostat is best? ▼

It depends on your needs! Hive is great for beginners and British Gas customers. Nest has the best learning features and design. Tado excels at geofencing and multi-zone. Drayton Wiser offers excellent value for multi-room control. We'll help you choose based on your home, budget, and priorities.

Can smart thermostats control hot water too? ▼

Yes! Most smart thermostats can control both heating and hot water if you have a system or regular boiler with a hot water cylinder. Combi boilers heat water on demand so don't need hot water scheduling. We'll set up full control of whatever your system supports.
