Thermostats

A Smart Thermostat is the Smart Choice

Heating your home, while conserving energy and saving money at the same time, has become a lot easier in recent years with the arrival of the smart radiator thermostat. Unlike timed or programmable thermostats, which are subject to human error, smart thermostats employ sensors to determine optimal conditions and can automatically adjust heating or cooling as necessary. Wi-Fi connectivity also allows instant access to the central heating controls in order to make any required adjustments to the temperature settings and timing on the fly.

Honeywell Thermostats for Zone Control

With a Honeywell Evohome Multi-Zone Thermostat you can control the temperature in individual rooms or zones. Each zone works independently which allows you to choose which rooms or areas are warmer or cooler. Programs can be set directly on the digital thermostat and altered or re-set via tablet or smartphone. The range of Honeywell thermostats also includes the T6R which works in one zone only. Like the Evohome thermostats, the Lyric T6R Honeywell thermostat can be remotely controlled using the smartphone app or via Google Home , IFTTT, Amazon Echo or Apple Homekit.

How Smart is the Tado Smart Thermostat?

Regulating temperature can be problematical in apartments or commercial premises that are heated using district heating. Depending on a centralised heat source means constantly monitoring and adjusting individual radiator thermostats to achieve the desired result. With the Tado range of thermostats incorporating Climate Assistant this is no longer a problem. Climate Assistant can detect open windows, human movement and monitor boiler usage and then adjust settings automatically to reflect any new set of circumstances. The Climate Assistant also supplies information regarding heating activity, humidity and provides guides to energy saving.

A Warm Nest with a Nest Thermostat

Using algorithms, the thermostat will be working at maximum efficiency within a week to keep your home and individual rooms as warm or as cool as desired. Compatible with over 85% of homes, the Nest thermostat also logs details of energy usage and a Nest report will give a monthly evaluation of how to save on both usage and expense.
