Smart home heating in demand

The results show that homeowners want reliable smart heating controls so they can: 

 

Above all, customers want simplicity and convenience and ways to reduce their energy bills. Scalable solutions and options like multi-zoning and smart modes can all add to the benefits. 

 

The biggest problem for installers is complexity. Some solutions are hard to install, causing delays and adding to costs. Product compatibility is another problem that causes frustration and delays. Manufacturers need to improve the quality of their support and information, especially online. 

 

Smart heating controls can include smart thermostats operated via smartphone apps or voice commands. They can provide programmable schedules, artificial intelligence, sensors and integration with other smart home devices. All together they can reduce energy use, helping to save money. 

 

Remote control. You don’t have to wake up to a cold house or adjust your thermostat when you get home. Smart heating controls allow you to manage the temperature wherever you are. 

 

Personalisation. If you wish, you can set a different temperature for every room or zone in your house. The setting can depend on who is using the space or what it’s used for. Different zone settings are often very helpful in older properties with varying insulation. 

 

Energy savings. You can reduce home energy consumption by heating only the rooms you are using. You don’t need to heat your whole house if you’re only using two or three rooms on weekday evenings. However, you can change the settings for the weekend. 

 

Making the most of your existing heating system. You can use many smart heating controllers with your existing heating systems. This can include traditional boilers, heat pumps, or underfloor heating. You can also link with smart lights, security and home assistants. 

 

Intelligence. Smart thermostats can now learn and adapt to your lifestyle. Based on your preferences they can automatically adjust your home’s temperature. 

 

Energy management. By collecting information about your home’s energy use, smart heating controls can provide simple reports. This can help you make informed decisions about your heating. 

 

Sensitivity. Smart heating systems can use local weather updates to adjust your home temperature. Your heating system can automatically adapt to sudden temperature drops or unexpected warm spells. 

 

Thresholds. Automatic thresholds can protect your home against frost damage, making sure the temperature never falls too low. 

 

Value. People are now very aware of the importance of efficient home heating. Installing smart controls will add to your property value. Designed to stay up to date, you can keep up with new innovations too.
