Smart Temperature Control – Heating and Air Conditioning

Types of smart temperature control systems

Smart heating control systems are about more than energy-saving devices – they can also heat and cool your home more efficiently. Broadly speaking, there are four types of smart heating system:

Smart Temperature Control

Heating only

Efficient home heating options include smart radiator valves and smart electric radiators. A smart radiator valve lets you change your settings remotely from a mobile device.

Smart electric radiators offer full flexibility. You can activate them via voice control such as Siri, or interact using WiFi and Bluetooth.

Smart Temperature Control

Air conditioning only

Air conditioning smart devices allow you to lower the room temperature via your mobile. Like you would your heating schedule, you can customise these to come on when you’re home and reduce energy use when you’re away.

Smart Temperature Control

Smart thermostats

Smart heating thermostats can range from basic heating and cooling to dehumidifying and ventilation. The original Nest Learning Thermostat set the trend, analysing your occupancy patterns and optimising your home system.

Smart Temperature Control

Full home zone control

These include IoT brands such as Google Home or Apple Homekit. They’re ideal for controlling the temperature in different rooms thanks to a multi room thermostat. Again, you can connect voice assistant devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Nest.

Smart temperature control costs

The cost of smart temperature control depends on the devices you want installed. As a starting point, devices like smart radiator thermostats can range between $128 and $320. 

If you’re looking for a fully integrated heating and air conditioning model, this may exceed four figures. Our qualified engineers can help you decide based on your needs.
