Brands We Install
We are independent installers, which means we can fit the best system for your needs, not just what we are told to sell.

Professional Installation
Smart thermostats involve high-voltage wiring near your boiler. It is not a DIY job. Incorrect installation can damage your boiler's PCB (circuit board).
Our Installation Service Includes:
- Removing your old thermostat safely.
- Wiring the new receiver into your boiler.
- Mounting the new thermostat and hub.
- Setting up the App on your phone.
- Demonstrating how to use it.
Already bought your own Hive or Nest? No problem. We offer a "Fit Only" service for a fixed labour price.

How Smart Thermostats Work
Smart thermostats connect directly to your boiler and use intelligent sensors to maintain the perfect temperature in your home. Instead of following a rigid timer, they learn your daily habits, detect when you are home, and adjust the heating automatically to match.
Advanced models also track how long your home takes to heat up, meaning they can start the boiler earlier on freezing days and ease off sooner when the room reaches temperature. The result is a system that keeps you comfortable while using less energy — all controllable from your phone.
