Each of us is different, as are our homes and individual needs, finding the right thermostat to meet your lifestyle needs can be confusing and time consuming.

However taking the time to make the right choice could help you save even more money on energy bills and that can only be a good thing, can’t it?

We are all busy people, which is why we have put together the guide below to give you an overview of the different types of control available and to make choosing the right control for you as pain free as possible.

Technological developments are an everyday occurrence and spending on the ‘Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to experience a major increase.  IoT is the term used to describe a world where everyday objects communicate to each other and are connected to the internet ( we are all familiar with Amazon’s Alexa and Google technology). We now live in a world where almost everything around us can communicate from our lights, fridges, washing machines and now even our thermostats. This form of communication is only set to continue as SMART home technology progresses.

So how does this affect your choice of controls... well have you ever left you house and then remembered you have left the heating on or returned from holiday to a freezing cold house?  Do you live with people who like to have the heating so high it feels like you are sitting in a sauna, but you yourself might prefer it to be slightly cooler?  Would you like to have the flexibility to turn your heating off in an unused room or simply adjust it? Perhaps you would like to check your energy usage from your phone? Smart controls allow you do all of the above enabling you to control your hot water and heating on the go.

However, if Smart technology is not for you yet and you prefer the more traditional mechanical and digital thermostats our guide below will provide you with all the necessary information to make the right decision. Alternatively call us now to discuss further or arrange for one of our qualified heating engineers to visit

So let’s start by introducing you to some of the SMART technology and thermostats that we work with:
