What is a smart thermostat?

A smart thermostat is a device that allows you to control your Leigh, Wigan, Lancaster or Morecambe home’s central heating and hot water remotely through an app on your phone, allowing you to set precise heating schedules any time, even when you're away from home.

Smart thermostats are much more flexible than older, traditional systems, giving you complete control over when you switch your heating and hot water on and off, ensuring that all your rooms reach and stay at your optimal temperature exactly when you need them to.

How does a smart thermostat work?

Through user-friendly technology, a smart thermostat connects to your home’s Wi-Fi and heating system, which then pairs to an app on your mobile phone or tablet which you use to control your home’s central heating and hot water.

Forgotten to set your timer? Want to warm the house up before you get home? Need to turn the heating off if you forgot in the morning rush? The mobile app allows you to turn your heating and hot water on and off from anywhere, at any time, when you have connection to the internet.

Backed by years of experience in smart thermostat and boiler installation for our customers across Leigh, Wigan, Lancaster and Morecambe, BHE’s expert engineers set up and demonstrate your new system, giving you the know-how you need to get the most out of your new smart boiler controls.

What are the benefits of installing a smart thermostat?

A smart thermostat installation makes it easier to reach and maintain the ideal level of heating for every room in your home so you don’t need to keep adjusting a standard thermostat, even when the weather is unpredictable. And by switching on your hot water while you’re still out of the house, the hot water cylinder will be ready for a much-needed bath or shower once you get back.

• Still next to the pool but want to make sure the house is warm when you’re back from holiday?
• In need of a warm welcome after a long day at work?
• Family (and pets!) in need of a hot bath after a muddy dog walk?

Your smart thermostat installed by BHE keeps your home warm, welcoming and with all the heating and hot water you need to keep the household running smoothly.

A smart thermostat installation brings some great benefits:

• Control your central heating system wherever you are: In addition to the main control unit that’s supplied with your smart thermostat installation, you can also monitor and adjust its settings directly from the app. So, if you want to tweak your heating settings to get your house ready for when you get home, it’s done in a few taps.
• Benefit from more flexible heating: The instant response of a smart thermostat in keeping your rooms at your preferred constant temperature means you only use the energy you need. Feeling chilly? Just turn the temperature up using your smart thermostat app, and you’ll come home to a warm welcome.
• Only heat your home when you want to: Need to stay late at work, or held up on your way home? You don’t need to worry that you’re heating empty rooms – just use your smart thermostat app to adjust when the heating comes on.
• Real time status and temperature alerts: Forgotten to turn your heating on or off? Temperature on the thermostat too high? It’s easily done, but a smart thermostat lets you quickly turn the heating down, or off completely, so you don’t pay for heat that you aren’t getting the benefit from.
• Link your heating with other smart devices in your home: BHE’s smart thermostats are designed to sync and work with Amazon Alexa, and is capable of integrating into other smart home systems through Home Assistant.
