Can I have different temperatures in different rooms?

Yes — zoning uses separate thermostats or wireless TRVs to control temperatures room by room. We design zones around how you use your home so living areas stay comfortable while seldom-used rooms remain cooler, improving comfort and reducing energy use.

Do smart controls actually save money on bills?

Smart controls reduce wasted running time by enabling precise schedules, temperature setbacks and zone control — all of which lower energy use compared with basic time clocks. Savings depend on property type, occupant habits and insulation, and we provide realistic expectations during the survey.

What happens if my internet goes down?

Smart thermostats retain local schedules and basic functionality even if remote access is lost; the heating will still follow programmed times. We advise on robust Wi‑Fi placement and can install a hub-based system or local fallback settings to keep essential heating working during outages.

Do you provide aftercare and support?

Yes — installations include on-site handover and app training, plus aftercare support from Dave or James. We can reconfigure schedules, troubleshoot connectivity, register manufacturer warranties when available and carry out follow-up visits to optimise performance.

“Dave was very prompt to respond to my job request and his communication throughout the work was timely and helpful. He provided a detailed quote and was open to discuss my requirements and answer questions. The work carried out was done to a very high standard with particular attention to detail. I was kept informed during the work of any adjustments that were needed and Dave worked hard to realise my vision and wants. Dave worked in a professional, respectful manner in my property.

Our Process

How It Works

Site survey & recommendation

An engineer assesses your boiler, pipe layout and heating zones, checks compatibility with Viessmann/Vaillant/Baxi systems where relevant, then recommends the best smart controls and zoning configuration for your property.

Professional installation & commissioning

We fit the smart thermostat, wireless thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) or zone wiring, commission the boiler interface and test schedules to ensure the system runs reliably and efficiently.

Handover, training & ongoing support

We walk you through the app, set up remote access and bespoke schedules, register any manufacturer warranty where available, and provide follow-up support and tune-ups as required.

How we work: Dave or James carry out a focused site survey, explain the trade-offs between self-learning and schedule-based systems, and provide a written recommendation.

“I can’t recommend this plumber highly enough. I needed help very quickly after my bath cracked, and he responded promptly and got everything sorted in no time. He completely turned my bathroom around and the standard of work was excellent. He replaced my floor, installed a new 3-piece suite, and fitted a new shower, all to a very high standard. He attended with his apprentice and they were both polite, professional, and extremely helpful throughout the whole job. The work was carried out efficiently with great attention to detail, and they left no mess at all when finished. Thanks Gents-Jordan”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Most modern boilers are compatible with smart thermostats; during our survey we check the boiler control wiring, whether it’s a combi, system or regular cylinder setup, and confirm compatibility. For manufacturer-covered boilers (Viessmann, Vaillant, Baxi) our trained installers can integrate controls without affecting warranty where applicable.
