Many advancements have been made in thermostats since the electric tele-thermoscopes hit the market in 1883.
Remember that old coil and mercury switch Grandma and Grandpa had?

Programmable room thermostats led the way in the 80’s.
And the digital age, well, it’s a bit like the mini disc! Remember them?
The latest technology in cooling and heating your home is the smart thermostat.
Thanks to smart heating controls, homeowners can now control temperature, boiler demand and hot water remotely, whether your sitting on the train home, sitting in traffic or half the world away via a smartphone, tablet or PC.

The job of the marketplace has long been to react to demand. The increase in consumer interest and consumer demand has made it so that as heating engineers we have had to adapt, grow and expand our skills base and interest to ensure we stay with modern times.

Over half the energy we use in our homes or offices is through heating. A third of UK emissions are down to heating. Smart controls are just one way of meeting carbon targets cost-effectively.
We all want to benefit from a warm and comfortable home at an affordable cost. Smart heating controls allow the user to save as much as 30% on their energy bills.
Smart thermostats allow us to programme in multiple settings. We can warm the house up on our way home from work, or adjust the temperature throughout the day. We can have control of any single room with the zoning feature, and programme to react to conditions like high humidity. Lowering the heat when we’re not at home conserves energy, which of course saves us money.
They’re also great fun for the techies. Compile the in-depth data and track how much energy you are using in real-time daily, weekly, monthly and yearly for a consumption analysis.
Control and adjust the temperature remotely from your mobile phone or computer with a connection to the internet. Smart thermostats will come with an app for your smartphone which can be simply downloaded, from there you’re ready to go.

The overall idea is to save money, these advancements let us have more control over our heating and hot water usage. They enable us to cut down on wasted energy. They are the first UK based move to demonstrate the true potential of connected buildings and remote access to controlling the home. No doubt in the future smart controls will extend further from heating controls so that we will have a truly connected home.
