Smart heating controls in Exeter

Most modern combi boilers and system boilers are compatible with Nest, Hive and Tado. Older boilers — particularly those without a switched live terminal — may need an additional relay or heat-link to work properly. I check this before installation and include any necessary wiring in the quote.

Usually yes. Tell me the make and model when you call. Occasionally a system arrives without the right wiring accessories for a particular boiler type, in which case I'll source the right parts before visiting.

Typically one to two hours for a standard combi boiler with a single thermostat. Multi-zone systems with additional wireless radiator valves take longer. I'll give you a time estimate when we discuss the job.

Not necessarily, but it makes sense to know your boiler is in good order before spending money on controls. If your boiler hasn't been serviced recently and you're booking me for both jobs, I can do them in one visit.

All the thermostats I install have physical controls on the unit itself, so you can still operate your heating manually if the app or broadband is unavailable.

That depends on your household. Tado's geofencing suits households where people are in and out at irregular times. Nest suits households with a regular routine. Hive is straightforward and solid if you want something simple to manage. I'll ask about how you use your home and give you a recommendation rather than pushing the most expensive option.
