1. Find out whether your boiler is compatible

Smart thermostats work with the vast majority of boiler systems, including combi and conventional models. Older units may present compatibility challenges, though a heating professional can clarify.

2. Choose your model

Once compatibility is confirmed, advisors help you select an appropriate model. Different options offer different capabilities, from advanced reporting for energy-conscious households to individual room radiator management for larger properties.

3. Removing your old thermostat

Replacement needs professional expertise. Technicians deactivate the system and disconnect the existing wall-mounted unit, exposing the wires for the new installation in the same location.

4. Position and wire up your new thermostat

Installing in the original spot avoids expensive rewiring. Engineers attach the new unit to the existing wiring and secure it neatly to the wall.

5. Connect and set up

After installation and activation, the smart thermostat connects to Wi-Fi with technician assistance, configuring preferences and property details.

6. Programme your usage

Engineers demonstrate operation and set up heating schedules. You then download the app for complete remote management.

The complete procedure, from scheduling through setup, takes around two hours, enabling immediate savings. If you would like to discuss smart thermostat installation, our team is happy to help.
