Smart Thermostats — Real Savings, Properly Installed
A smart thermostat replaces your existing programmer and room thermostat with a single internet-connected unit you control from your phone. The real saving isn't the technology — it's the combination of accurate scheduling, geofencing (heating off when nobody is home), and the ability to nudge temperatures throughout the day.
We supply and fit Google Nest (3rd Gen and Learning), Hive Active Heating, Honeywell T6 and evohome, and Drayton Wiser. Installation includes electrical connection (replacing or rewiring your existing programmer), receiver pairing, hub setup, app configuration on your phone, and a proper walkthrough so you actually use it rather than leave it on factory settings.
Real-world savings vary, but most homes see 15-25% reduction in heating bills within the first year — bigger savings on poorly-controlled older systems.
Real Work Examples
Why Your Old Programmer Costs You Money
Mechanical and basic digital programmers run a fixed schedule whether you're home or not, whether the weather demands heat or not, whether you remembered to adjust before going on holiday or not. Most homes have schedules set once at installation and never touched again — heating empty houses for years.
- Old programmers run fixed schedules with no occupancy awareness
- Forgotten temperature setbacks (holiday, weekend away) waste significant gas
- Single room thermostats only sense one room — other rooms over- or under-heat
- Lack of remote control means no easy way to delay heating when running late
- Modern boilers' efficiency depends partly on accurate, responsive control — old thermostats don't provide it
Our Process
Brand & Model Discussion
Discuss usage patterns, integration requirements (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit) and budget. Recommend the right model.
Isolate Old Controls
Existing programmer and thermostat power isolated at the fuse spur. Wiring documented before removal.
Install New Controls
New thermostat backplate fitted, wiring connected per manufacturer spec, receiver wired into boiler. Power tested before powering on.
Network & App Setup
Receiver connected to your home Wi-Fi, hub paired where applicable. App installed on your phone, account set up, scheduling configured to your routine.
Training & Sign-Off
Walkthrough of every feature — scheduling, geofencing, manual override, remote control. Manuals and warranty paperwork handed over.
