Transform Your Home Heating
Smart thermostats are transforming how homes manage heating and comfort. They give you full control through your phone, learn your routine, and automatically adjust to keep your home perfectly warm without wasting energy.
At The Heat Network, we professionally install and configure leading brands including Hive, Tado, Nest, and Honeywell — ensuring your new thermostat works seamlessly with your heating system from day one.

Future-Proof Comfort
Compatible with boilers, underfloor heating and heat pumps — ready for any system upgrade.
Why upgrade to a smart thermostat
Traditional controls heat your home on a fixed timer. Life is not fixed. A smart thermostat learns your routine, adjusts to weather, and lets you change settings from your phone so comfort fits your day without wasting energy.
Most homes see lower running costs alongside steadier temperatures. You get better control, fewer hot and cold spots, and a heating system that simply feels smarter to live with.
Comfort that adapts
Preheats before you wake, turns down when you head out, and keeps rooms steady in the evening.
Lower bills
Smarter schedules and setpoints trim waste. Many households see savings in the ten to twenty percent range.
Full control anywhere
Use the app at work, on holiday, or from the sofa. Voice control is available if you prefer hands free.
Ready for upgrades
Works with boilers, underfloor heating, and modern heat pumps. Add room sensors or smart valves when you are ready.
How smart thermostats work
Smart thermostats connect to your heating system and use built-in sensors and intelligent software to maintain the right temperature in every season. Instead of following a fixed timer, they monitor your habits, learn when you’re home, and adjust automatically to match.
Many models also track how quickly your home heats up, so they can start warming earlier on cold days and ease back when rooms reach temperature. The result is a system that keeps you comfortable while using less energy — with full control from your phone or voice assistant.
Choosing the right thermostat for your system
Most smart thermostats work across standard heating systems, but setup and compatibility still matter. Our engineers confirm how your system is wired, what controls are already fitted, and how to integrate everything safely. This ensures your new thermostat works perfectly from day one.
For heat pumps, we usually recommend using the manufacturer’s own controls to guarantee full compatibility, efficiency, and access to weather compensation or flow temperature optimisation.
Compatibility checklist
- Heating system type confirmed (boiler or heat pump)
- Existing controls assessed before installation
- Wiring and power location checked for suitability
- Wi-Fi signal verified near the thermostat hub
- Room sensors and zones considered for later expansion
If you’re unsure what’s fitted, we’ll handle the checks and recommend the right control setup for your home and budget.
