Heating Controls

Did you know that if you controlled your heating more effectively, you could save up to 17% of your heating costs? Boilers don't know when you want heat or hot water and cannot gauge the necessary temperatures without controls. 

By installing heating controls, your heating system can react to changes in temperature, provide different temperatures in different rooms and switch your hot water on and off at whatever times you specify. 

If you have an older heating system in your home, you may need to upgrade the controls to get the maximum benefit. It's also extremely important that you have your boiler tested and serviced regularly, which will prolong its life and efficiency. 

It's recommended that you upgrade heating controls as part of more wide-ranging work on your heating or hot water system, such as replacing your boiler or hot water cylinder.
