How Heating Controls Can Save You Money and Energy
Advice
Managing your heating system effectively is one of the simplest ways to reduce your energy use and keep your home comfortable. Modern heating controls—like smart thermostats, timers, and radiator valves—can help you use less energy and save money.
At Warmify, we help eligible households access free heating controls upgrades through trusted schemes like ECO4 and Connected for Warmth.
What Are Heating Controls?
Heating controls are devices that let you manage how and when your heating works. These include:
- Room thermostats – Maintain a set temperature in your home.
- Smart thermostats – Allow you to control heating from your phone, even when you’re out.
- Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) – Let you adjust temperatures in individual rooms.
- Timers and programmers – Control when your heating switches on and off.
Benefits of Heating Controls

More comfort – Keep your home at the right temperature for your needs.
Increased control – Manage heating remotely or automatically.
Reduced carbon footprint – Using less energy is better for the planet.
