Smart heating systems are all the rage these days. Every home should have one. But it’s only when you start using something like Nest, Tado, Hive, Honeywell’s Evohome or Heat Genius for several months that you realise just how wasteful your old, dumb central heating can be.
A traditional heating system typically operates with a thermostat and a seven-day programmable timer. For each day, you’ll preset the times at which you want the heating to switch on and off, and specify the overall temperature you’d like your house to reach. The heating then cycles through this timed program, blindly following the settings whether anyone’s in the house or not.
A smart thermostat like Nest gives you more control. It learns and adapts to your occupancy schedule, adjusting your home’s heating accordingly, and it also enables you to wirelessly control your home’s temperature remotely. Staying out late?
