The biggest buzzword in the heating industry at the moment is ‘control’. Simply put, more control means better tailoring of your space heating and hot water setup. This should ultimately get you closer to the holy grail of only using exactly as much energy as you actually need to create a comfortable living environment.
“There are many homes in the UK without even basic heating controls,” explains Nigel Griffiths, Build It’s sustainability expert. “Putting in a standard programmable timer gets you 75% of the way there in terms of the potential savings. The other 25% is about getting clever with zoning, temperature control in rooms and suchlike.” That’s where the latest whizz-bang thermostats come in.
What is smart heating?
Fundamentally, this tech allows you to control your home’s central heating system from your tablet or smartphone, wherever you are in the world. While that may sound a little gimmicky, there’s a practical point to it.
Gone are the days where, to get maximum value for money out of your heating, you’d have to literally run around the entire house adjusting each thermostatic radiator valve and refining the overall temperature. Now you can do everything with the push of a button.
