Controlling the way your home is heated is one of the better ways to reduce pricey energy bills and leave you with far more disposable income at the end of each and every month. After all, 60% of your energy bill is from heating the property, so it's certainly an excellent place to start.
With the right controls you'll be able to keep your house at a comfy temperature, while at the same time not losing extra money on fuel. You'll also be able to keep your home carbon dioxide emissions down also.
Fortunately, home heating control systems can be used with any central heating boiler, no matter what model or age. This signifies there's a saving to be made should you just go out there and get it.
By putting in a heating management system it can save you in between £70 and £150 each year. In addition there are a lot of CO2 emissions to be decreased also and you will slash between 310kg and 630kg on a yearly basis.
Also take into account the temperature you have your thermostat fixed on. By simply turning it down only one degree, you can save as much as £75 annually and won't feel a difference in temperature either.
The typical cost of Heating control system is £300. Costs differ based upon the materials and the tradesman selected. The upper price range can be as high as £345. The material costs are normally about £75

Smart controls such as Hive are the next generation technology with more and more people now converting their houses into smart homes to control multiple devices in the homes remotely. Smart technology can be incorporated with several household devices such as security, lighting, entertainment and more. But what if there’s an oil boiler installed in your home, can you still connect your Hive with the your heating? Well, simply read on to find out.
The answer to this question is yes, most oil boilers are compatible with Hive and can substitute for either an existing conventional programmer or thermostat. The smart technology works to help derive more benefits from your heating system and they usually come with apps which can be used to control your home’s heating from anywhere with just your mobile device. Hive, however, cannot work to replace the functions of smart oil boiler heating controls to modulate your heating as they only work on an on or off basis. To make use of the modulating technology in an oil boiler, the cost of manufacture would be considerably higher while offering little advantage in efficiency for the home or property owner. Ultimately, this implies that you can’t incorporate smart technology to control the output in a similar way as a gas boiler, but there are still some ways to utilize smart technology with your oil boiler in such a way to boost your efficiency and lessen the energy bills.
Do you want to use your Hive with your home’s oil boiler? We’d advise you get in touch with an OFTEC qualified engineer if you wish to install Hive Active Heating on your oil boiler, as British Gas engineer do not offer this service.
The Hive thermostat stand is relatively easy to install, however if you lack the necessary training or experience, this is a task you might want to leave to a professional to guarantee the best result while also saving you money and time. This guide will give you a good insight into the Hive thermostat installation process.
The installation of a Hive thermostat does require it to be connected to your home boiler. For this reason we always recommend you get a professional to install it. However once install the Hive Smart Thermostat is very easy to operate and move the controller around your home. To get started, you can follow these steps:
• Press the lever at the lower side of the thermostat and pull away from the front to detach the back plate of your device.
• Once done, simply hang the thermostat on the stand back plate and ensure it holds firmly in place
When it comes to Hive thermostat installation, you might also want to consider the positioning of the device in such a way to heat your home even more efficiently as its designed to be very sensitive to temperature. To identify the best spot for your Hive thermostat, let’s take a look at some of the dos and don’ts.
A Few Dos:
• Do maintain the position of your Hive Thermostat to keep a stable connection with the receive and Hive Hub.
• Do ensure that the position chosen is the centre of your home or a frequently used room.
• Do place the thermostat about 1 to 1.5 metres from floor.
• Do ensure that your thermostat is in a close proximity with the hub and receiver for a better functionality.
A Few Don’ts:
• Don’t place your Hive thermostat stand close to radiators, direct sunlight or other heat sources,
• Don’t position your device near or at places that can expoerience a sudden change in temperature such as the front or back door.
• Don’t leave your thermostat too close to curtains or ornaments.
If you’re building a connected home, a smart thermostat allows you to change the temperature in your home. And not only do several smart thermostats come with touch screens and a user friendly interface, but they’re also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and other voice controlled personal assistants. So how does a smart thermostat work? Let’s have a look!
Generally, smart thermostats are connected to the home’s Heating and/or Air Con system via C wire (common wire). Homes that lacks a C wire (especially older homes) will have to install one first before getting a smart thermostat. The C wire is a crucial element in the installation process as it works mainly to wire your smart thermostats into the Boiler system without tampering with the wiring for the other appliances in the house.
The smart thermostats comes with some special temperature setting which you can access by connecting them to your home’s WiFi. These include:
• Mobile Control
Most smart thermostats are specially designed to enable users to control the temperature of their home from the comfort of their couch or car via their unique mobile apps. This feature is just perfect if you particularly like getting the perfect temperature in your home without having to get out of bed.
• Humidity Controls
Although, the humidity of your home can not really be adjusted with a smart thermostat but you can always stay on top of it by monitoring it or setting an alarm on your phone to go off when the humidity changes.
• Geofencing Feature
With a smart thermostat, you can choose the particular times of the day you want it in action. This feature enables you to go on impromptu travels without having to worry about your energy bills - some smart thermostats come with the geotracking feature which determines when you’ve left the house and adjusts the temperature of the home accordingly with your energy usage in mind.
If you’re looking to acquire smart thermostats in your home, but wondering about its money saving qualities, then this is for you! Not only do smart thermostats add new impressive features to your home, but it can also save you both energy and money. According to many reports using a programmable thermostat can save you between the range of £130 to £150 on an annual basis. Now think about using a smart thermostat that makes it a lot more easier for you.
Wondering how smart thermostat save money? Simply set your smart thermostat one or two degrees lower or higher than the usual number. Once done, you’re likely to notice 1% to 3% reduction in your energy bills. And if you want even more, you simply increase the percentage to about 10 degrees to 15 degrees to cover the period you spend at work and watch as you save up to 10 percent of your energy bills.
Generally, a smart thermostats will save you money in two major ways. These includes:
• They Do All The Thinking For You
The smart thermostat watches your behaviour and study the time you’re at home and when you’re not as well as your preferred temperature at particular times in a day, and that’s why they are termed as “smart. they’ll automatically adjust the settings to ensure you get home to a perfect temperature.
• They Keep Tabs On Your Usage
You can always count on a two way communicating smart thermostat to watch your usage while also collecting the data and sharing it with you. It informs you of your energy usage rate as well as the estimated amount. Once you’ve been notified, you can manual adjustment or leave it to the thermostat to help manage your energy.
