Smart thermostat app connected and working. I'll create heating schedules that match your routine, set up zones if you've got them, link voice control, and show you how to adjust everything yourself.
### Stop Heating an Empty House
You've got a smart thermostat on the wall. It's **definitely connected to something**. But you're still using the manual controls because the app makes no sense and you're worried about turning the heating off completely by accident.
Classic smart thermostat situation.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Smart thermostats save money through scheduling (not heating empty houses) and geofencing (turning down when everyone leaves). But only if you actually set them up. Most people never do, so they're paying £200 for a thermostat they use as a dumb one.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Old house with weird heating?** Smart thermostats work with any system that has a thermostat wire. Combination boilers, system boilers, heat-only boilers - all compatible. Your house age doesn't matter, only your heating system type. **Radiator valves worth it?** Depends. If you've got rooms you don't use (spare bedrooms, office during summer), yes. If you use all rooms all the time, probably not worth the £50+ per valve. **My boiler is ancient - will it work?** Probably yes. Smart thermostats replace your existing thermostat, they don't care how old your boiler is. As long as it currently has a thermostat, it can have a smart one. I can check before you buy if you're unsure.
Frequently Asked Questions about Smart thermostat help in Tiverton
What help do people need with smart thermostats?
Usually app setup and schedule configuration. The electrician fitted it, but didn't show you how to use it. Or you've been heating an empty house for months because the schedule's wrong. I'll get the app working, create a sensible schedule, show you manual overrides, and link to voice control if wanted.
I've got a Nest/Hive/Tado already fitted - can you help set it up properly?
Yes - that's most of my thermostat calls. It's wired in and working, but you've no idea how to use the app or set schedules. I'll show you how it all works, create a schedule that matches your routine, and explain the features that save money.
Can you add more radiator valves to my Hive/Tado system?
I can pair additional valves to your existing system and show you how to create heating zones. The actual valve fitting needs a plumber (draining radiators, PTFE tape, etc), but once they're physically fitted, I'll get them working in the app.
Will you show me how to adjust the schedule myself?
Absolutely - that's the point. Your routine changes, the schedule should too. I'll show you how to edit schedules, create boost periods, set holidays/away modes, and adjust temperatures without breaking everything.
How long does thermostat help take?
Basic app setup and schedule - about an hour. Multiple zones with complex schedules - up to 1.5 hours. Troubleshooting why it's not controlling your heating properly can take longer if we need to diagnose wiring issues.
