2020 has been an interesting year but when it comes to technology the future is here. With smart heating systems you control your heating via your smartphone or tablet from the comfort of your bed or office desk ay work, with the added benefit of cost saving on your bills.
The convenience of leaving your house and remembering you left your heating on full blast, and switching it off with touch of a button or driving home on a cold winter and getting your heating to your desired temperature.
Some are even more advanced and can help you set different temperatures for each room or have motion sensors so they detect if your home or not. Here at Abbey Boilers, we offer a range of intelligent heating systems that allow you to control your heating system.
Here are a few examples of system we have installed:
The Nest by google
With Energy UK finding that turning down your heating by one degree can cut your heating bills by 10% and save you around £85 a year, using your thermostat properly is pretty essential if you want to save money.
Even though programming a thermostat has been made simpler over the years, it’s still a task that many of us can do without. On top of entering every start and stop time you need throughout the week, you need to decide on the right temperature and plan for when you’re not going to be home.
This is where the Nest can help. This is a learning thermostat that, once installed, just needs to be set manually for a week – turn it on or off, or up or down, at certain times of the day and then it begins to program itself.
The artificial intelligence inside will learn your ideal timings and preferences, and start to apply them automatically.
No two homes are exactly the same, but the Nest will learn about your home when programming how quickly it heats and cools, and how it’s affected by outside weather conditions and adjust accordingly. It also turns itself down when you’re out by using sensors and your phone’s location.
This smart technology can save energy, and improve the efficiency of your home’s central heating and you’ll hardly need to do anything yourself.
If you already have the nest app for your smart door bell or CCTV it is the same app and hey all connect to each other.
The Wave by Worcester Bosch
A smart, Internet-connected control for your home’s central heating and hot water, the Wave has a corresponding app that allows you to monitor and control usage remotely via a phone or tablet connected to the internet.
InTouch by intergas
You can turn your phone into your thermostat by connecting your smartphone to your boiler, thanks to the InTouch app, which turns your house into a smart home.
By connecting your boiler to the internet, you can control your home’s heating from anywhere in the world via the InTouch app. The app also provides an easy-to-use, visual control system for those that struggle to program boiler panels, making it a simple way to monitor your heating.
But best of all, the InTouch app can boost the efficiency of your heating system. By staying connected with your boiler and monitoring usage, the app can respond to varying demand and use more or less energy as needed.
