Smart Thermostats in Bedlington, Northumberland (13)

Not only are smart thermostats a convenient way to control the temperature in your home, they also have other benefits.

Firstly, having a smart thermostat can save you money on your energy bills. While you can set a schedule, they also allow you to switch your heating on only when it's needed. This helps prevent wasted energy.

What's more, some smart thermostats come with additional features. You can choose from models that prevent your pipes from freezing, learn your heating preferences and make automatic adjustments, and even detect if you’ve left a window open.

Will a smart thermostat work with my HVAC system?

While smart thermostats are a great choice, they aren't compatible with every HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system. The best way to check if your system will work well with a smart thermostat is to look online. Most smart thermostat suppliers will have a section on their website that helps you see if your system is compatible.
