5 Reasons To Invest In Smart Heating Controls
From the way we secure our homes to how we consume entertainment, smart technology seems to be everywhere at the moment. Smart technology can also play a pivotal role in the way that we heat our homes and here at Pipelife we often see those yet to switch to a smarter way of living asking ‘are smart heating controls worth it?’.
The answer to this question is undoubtedly yes. Compatible with a range of home heating systems including Pipelife’s underfloor heating, smart heating controls bring not only convenience but also a huge range of green and cost-saving benefits. To help you understand why this technology is a worthwhile investment for your home, we have outlined their benefits in this blog. Let’s get straight into it!
Save Money
One of the primary reasons to invest in smart heating controls is to save money on your energy bills. Old and clunky thermostats often lack the precision needed to truly personalise and optimise heating patterns in your home and this can lead to unnecessary expense with the heating coming on when you don’t actually need it to.
Smart heating controls overcome this issue as they allow you to completely tailor your home heating to your lifestyle and use energy only when and where you need it. With your heating controls at your fingertips, you can quickly switch off the heating when you know you aren’t going to be at home or won’t need it and can even adjust the temperature of each room individually. This allows you to be much more precise when it comes to your usage and therefore gives you control over your energy expenditure.
Energy Efficiency
Aside from giving you a bit of extra cash in your pocket at the end of the month, having greater control over your home heating system also brings environmental benefits as smart heating controls can improve the energy efficiency of your home.
When you’re using smart heating controls to closely monitor the cost of your energy bills, it’s likely that you will naturally be cutting back on your energy usage and only utilising your heating when it is needed. This keeps wastage to a minimum and therefore contributes to a greener, more sustainable home.
Remote Accessibility
The convenience of smart heating controls should never be downplayed. In fact, one of the standout features of this technology is the ability to control your heating system from wherever you are. We’ve all had a sudden moment of realisation that the heating has been left on, and with smart heating controls you can do something about it. Whether at work or about to head off on holiday, you can simply use your mobile device to adjust the temperature of your home. This convenience not only helps you to reduce energy wastage when you’re going to be away from home for some time but also helps you to make sure that your home is warm when you want it to be; for example, you could switch on the heating when you’re heading home from work so that you know you’ll return to nice cosy conditions!
Create A ‘Smart Home’
As we have touched upon, smart technology is becoming increasingly common in all areas of the home. By investing in smart heating controls, you can be certain that your entire space is as efficient and integrated as it should be and therefore know that you are getting the most out of your home’s capabilities. Creating this kind of complete ‘smart home’ may also increase the value of your home for the years to come, leaving you reaping the rewards of your investment in smart heating controls long into the future.
Get Unique Insights
Smart heating controls can also provide valuable insights into energy consumption patterns in your home. As you get to grips with your system, you might start to notice that certain rooms tend to be cooler or warmer than others and this can be a valuable prompt to address insulation issues or focus your energy usage on certain areas of the house. This knowledge will ultimately help you to further enhance the energy efficiency of your home and save even more money in the long run, highlighting just how significant an initial investment in smart heating controls can be.
