Savings

## 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
1

### Brand &amp; Model Discussion
Discuss usage patterns, integration requirements (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit) and budget. Recommend the right model.

2

### Isolate Old Controls
Existing programmer and thermostat power isolated at the fuse spur. Wiring documented before removal.

3

### Install New Controls
New thermostat backplate fitted, wiring connected per manufacturer spec, receiver wired into boiler. Power tested before powering on.

4

### Network &amp; 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.

5

### Training &amp; Sign-Off
Walkthrough of every feature — scheduling, geofencing, manual override, remote control. Manuals and warranty paperwork handed over.

## Why Choose Conroy

### All Major Brands
Google Nest, Hive, Honeywell T6 &amp; evohome, Drayton Wiser — installed to manufacturer spec.

### Full App Setup
We don't just wire it up and leave — we install the app, configure scheduling to your actual routine, and walk you through every feature.

### Geofencing Enabled
Where supported, geofencing is set up so the system turns down when nobody's home and warms up before you arrive.

### Smart Home Integration
Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit integration set up if you use them — voice control out of the box.

### Honest Brand Advice
No bias — we'll tell you the genuine strengths and weaknesses of each brand for your specific situation.

### Training Included
30-minute walkthrough at the end of the install — so you actually use the features rather than reverting to manual.

## Technical Detail

### Google Nest Learning
Learns your habits over the first week and builds an automated schedule. Best for households with regular routines. Excellent app, hardware looks great.

### Hive Active Heating
Simple, reliable, popular British Gas brand. Great for households who want straightforward scheduling without learning curves. Strong app, large user base.

### Honeywell T6 &amp; evohome
T6 is single-zone, evohome is multi-zone (up to 12 rooms with smart TRVs). Evohome is the best system for whole-house granular control.

### Drayton Wiser
Excellent value, multi-zone capable with smart TRVs, supports load/weather compensation for genuine boiler efficiency gains. Strong technical option.

### Smart TRV Integration
All multi-zone systems (evohome, Wiser, Tado) pair with smart TRVs for individual room scheduling. See our TRV replacement service for retrofitting smart TRVs.
