Heating controls are devices designed to regulate the heating within a property, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment without wasting energy. When installed correctly, heating controls can help reduce energy bills and contribute to lower carbon emissions.

What Are Heating Controls?

Heating controls include devices such as room thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) that work together to manage indoor heating and maintain a consistent temperature. These devices are essential for optimizing energy use and creating a comfortable living space.

There are various types of heating controls available for properties with installed boilers:

• Traditional Controls: Manually operated mechanical devices.
• Advanced Smart Controls: Internet-connected systems that automatically analyse your heating requirements based on your habits and adjust the settings accordingly.

Choosing the Right Heating Controls for Your Property

The suitability of heating controls depends on the type of boiler installed in your property. Heating controls can be upgraded without the need for a boiler replacement. Through government-funded grants, you may qualify to receive advanced heating controls free of charge, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.

Benefits of Smart Heating Controls

Smart heating controls provide convenient access via mobile applications, making it easier to manage heating requirements. These controls work by monitoring the indoor temperature and comparing it with your preset preferences. Once the desired temperature is reached, they signal the heating source to stop, conserving energy and extending the lifespan of your heating system.
