Your questions answered about smart thermostat installation near you
Can an electrician install a smart thermostat?
Yes! An electrician or gas engineer will usually be the best tradesperson to install a smart thermostat.
Is a smart thermostat really worth it?
Yes! Smart thermostats give you greater control over your home’s heating, as you can control the temperature using your smartphone or tablet.
This can help you use less energy and save up to 30% on your heating bills! So, you should quickly make back your initial investment.
Depending on which smart thermostat you choose, you’ll likely get to enjoy a ton of other benefits too.
For instance, some can monitor the weather, or even detect the location of your phone so your heating can turn on when someone’s home!
Can I install a smart thermostat myself?
Generally, no. Most of the time, you’ll need the help of a qualified electrician or gas engineer to install your smart thermostat safely.
That said, some smart thermostat products have been designed for DIY installation.
For example, if you opt for a Tado thermostat, the company has an app that can walk you through how to install it yourself, step by step.
Just bear in mind that they won’t walk you through how to unwire your old thermostat – so, you’ll still need the help of an electrician for this part!
