How Smart Thermostats Help You Save on Energy Bills and Optimise Heating

Smart Thermostat technology has been around for a while, with Nest being one of the first launched in 2014. The technology has improved over the years, and smart thermostats now play a key part in optimising the heating in your home, and helping you to save money on your energy bills.

Smart Thermostats work by monitoring how you use heat in your home, as well as how efficiently your home heats and cools. As they learn, they adjust the times that your boiler heats water to optimise the heating and hot water supply. This helps to ensure your home is comfortably warm whilst avoiding unnecessary heating of the house. They can even monitor the outside temperature and adjust the heating accordingly!

But that’s just one of the many benefits. Smart Thermostats also allow you to control your heating from anywhere in the world! By linking a Smart Thermostat to your wireless internet (WiFi) connection, you can control your heating via your smartphone - and even through home automation systems such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.

This means you can turn the heating off remotely, and switch it back on early when you are heading home from a trip to ensure a warm home awaits! You can also use the smart apps to monitor the situation in your house, and control the temperature and settings.

All of this means that your home can be optimally heated to just the right temperature, whilst avoiding unnecessary heating and costs.
