A smart thermostat is a device that controls your heating and hot water automatically, helping you save energy and money. Popular systems like Hive, Google Nest, and Tado let you manage your heating, hot water, and even individual radiators from your phone, tablet, or voice assistant — whether you’re at home or anywhere in the world.
Smart thermostats save energy by heating your home only when and where it’s needed. They use schedules, remote control, and room-by-room management (with Hive or Tado smart radiator valves) to cut wasted energy, which can reduce heating bills by up to £250 per year depending on your property and usage.
Hive, Nest, and Tado connect to your boiler or underfloor heating system through a receiver and hub. Once installed, they communicate wirelessly with your phone or smart device, allowing you to set schedules, adjust room temperatures, and control hot water from anywhere in the world.
At Boilergurus, we specialise in installing and configuring smart thermostat systems, from a single Hive upgrade to full property-wide multi-zone setups. We regularly install 16 Hive thermostats in large homes, giving our customers complete room-by-room control.
We always recommend Hive Active Heating because Hive offers the most reliable technical support, customer service, and long-term system stability. While we can install Google Nest or Tado if requested, Hive is the system we trust and install most often for our customers.
Our engineers are Gas Safe, G3 unvented qualified, and fully electrically trained, meaning we bring a trio of skills – plumbing, heating, and electrics – to every installation. For new systems, our smart controls pair perfectly with our boiler installations and integrate cleanly with underfloor heating for complete home comfort.
