Smart heating controls can let you adjust temperatures, set schedules and manage compatible heating or hot-water systems from a phone or tablet. Some products also make energy use easier to understand, which can help households reduce avoidable heating waste.

The correct control depends on the boiler, wiring, hot-water arrangement and any underfloor-heating zones already in the property. Options may include systems from manufacturers such as Nest, Hive or Honeywell, subject to current availability and compatibility.

Provida Services can help compare suitable options, install and configure the chosen controls, and explain the everyday settings before the job is complete.
