Are your energy bills going through the roof? Reduce your energy bills with a Smart Thermostat.

Surging global demand has led to gas prices quadrupling over the last year, with more increases forecast for April 2022. Now that autumn has arrived and temperatures are starting to drop, consumers are looking for ways to reverse the trend and reduce heating bills.

Upgrading to a Smart Thermostat may be the answer.

Are you heating an empty home?

The old saying used to be “the lights are on but nobody’s home”; instead ask yourself how often the heating is on but nobody’s home…

Have you recently gone back working in the office but the heating is still on at home? Are the children back at school or university but the heating is still on at home? How many times have you unexpectedly got caught up at work, spent an extra hour at the park because the sun came out, or stayed for dinner with the in-laws… while in the meantime the heating has come on at home. You could reduce your bills with a Smart Thermostat.

Smart Thermostats: Tado Smart Thermostat and Hive Active Heating

If you’re still controlling your boiler with a traditional thermostat, then did you know that you could save up to 20% on your heating bills by upgrading to a smart thermostat?

Smart Thermostats such as the well-known Hive Active Heating system and the new Tado Smart Thermostat offer much more than simply turning your heating on and off using an app on your mobile phone. They also offer a range of features that offer new levels of comfort and control, while also helping you to save energy and reduce your bills.

What can a Smart Thermostat do?

1. Set-up and manage flexible schedules from anywhere

Not only do Smart Thermostats offer various flexible options to ensure your heating schedule suits your routine, but set-up is much easier on your phone compared to a fiddly timer or dial. You can also use the mobile app to change or override your schedule from anywhere; push back the heating if you’re working late or turn it on now if you’ll be home unexpectedly early on the chilliest day of the winter.

2. Automatic weather responsiveness

Although they can’t stop you from getting wet, smart thermostats feature a handy weather-response function that monitors online weather forecasts and responds accordingly; for example by turning the heating down if it’s hotter than usual, or turning it up in a cold snap.

3. Location detection

This feature uses the location tracking function on your mobile phone to send you a reminder to turn the heating off when the last person leaves the house, or if someone is heading home when the house is colder than the temperature you’ve set. You would then simply use to mobile app to turn the heating on and off as required.

4. Smart Learning 

Your smart thermostat spots patterns in your heating routine over the course of a couple of weeks, and use this to automatically create the best schedule for you, with no need for any setup from you.

5. Open Window Detection

Don’t heat the street! The open window detection function sends you a notification to your phone reminding you to turn off your heating if the heating is on and a window is open.
