Why smart controls help
Heating works best when it follows your life. Smart thermostats allow routines for school runs, work, and evenings. You can adjust easily when plans change.
Adjust your heating from anywhere using your smartphone, whether you're at work or on the go.
Set heating routines that match your lifestyle, whether you have regular hours or changing shift patterns.
Reduce energy waste by only heating your home when you need it, saving money and reducing your carbon footprint.
If you've been comparing smart heating controls, we'll keep the choice simple. We outline what each platform does well, match it to your boiler and home layout, and make sure the features you'll actually use are easy to find later.
Install & setup process
- Survey & Photos
Please send us a few quick pictures of your boiler's front, data plate, and wiring centre. These help us determine where the receiver should go, test Wi-Fi coverage, and identify any unusual issues before we arrive. - Arrival & Protection
On arrival, we treat your home with care using shoe covers, dust sheets, and a clear plan from the start. We’ll confirm safe isolation and discuss your daily routine so your heating schedules are tailored to real life, not guesswork. - Wiring & Receiver
Your receiver is mounted securely, with clean, labelled connections and neatly routed cabling, no messy wires, just a robust setup that’s both safe and accessible. - Pairing & App Setup
We’ll pair the thermostat and receiver, connect to Wi-Fi, and set up the app on your chosen devices. We’ll also show you how to invite other household members to use it safely. - Testing & Commissioning
Before we leave, we thoroughly test everything: heat calls, hot water control (where applicable), boost, away mode, and safety settings so you know your system works exactly as it should.
If you’re planning Smart Thermostat Installation in Stoke-On-Trent as part of a boiler upgrade, we’ll sync it with your installation day so nothing gets overlooked. And if your current boiler is giving you problems, we won’t just cover it up with new controls. Our calm boiler repair service is here to help.

If your diary is tight, we can usually schedule a single visit. For homes near Longton or along the A50, we’ll propose realistic windows and keep you updated if traffic nudges timings.
Efficiency tips & schedules
Smart doesn't mean complicated. The best results come from simple schedules that reflect when you're actually home, then small nudges guided by real life.
Simple Schedules
We’ll help you choose sensible baselines, avoid aggressive swings, and use features like pre-heat intelligently so rooms are comfortable when you need them, not an hour too soon.
Optimal Settings
For combi boilers, moderate flow temperatures with longer runtimes can reduce cycling and noise. For systems with cylinders, we’ll plan hot-water timings around your usage patterns.
Voice Control & Privacy
If you prefer Alexa/Google/Siri routines, we’ll add safe voice commands and show you how to prevent accidental changes. For privacy-minded homes, we’ll outline options to keep location-based features off.

FAQs About Smart Thermostat Installation
Will a smart stat work with my boiler?
Nearly always—combi, system and heat-only setups are all supported. We’ll confirm whether basic on/off control or advanced modulation is available and configure accordingly.
Do you tidy old wiring?
Yes. We replace tired backplates where needed, label conductors and create a clean wiring centre so future service is simpler.
Can you set up multiple users and devices?
Absolutely. We’ll add household members, set permissions and show you how to revoke access if phones are upgraded or tenants change.
What if my Wi-Fi signal is weak near the boiler cupboard?
We’ll test coverage and suggest practical fixes such as relocating the receiver, using Ethernet at the router end or adding a dedicated access point.
Will this save me money automatically?
Smart controls aren’t magic, but sensible schedules and modulation (where supported) often reduce waste. We’ll help you set realistic expectations and habits.
Which platforms do you install?
We’re brand-agnostic. If you’re leaning toward Apple/Google/Amazon ecosystems we’ll map how each platform integrates. For a sleek device and Google Assistant focus, we can support you as a nest installer; for a clean, reliable UK-friendly ecosystem with excellent routines, we can also guide you as a tado installer when that’s the right fit.
