What exactly is smart heating?

Smart heating is a term used to describe a heating system that you can fully control wherever you are. Using the latest technology available, smart heating allows you to remain in control of  your home's central heating from your mobile phone. This is incredibly useful for homeowners that want to save money by turning off their heating when they are not at home, or turn it back on when they're on the way home!


How do I get a smart heating control system installed in my home? 

As smart heating controls are supposed to be synced to your boiler and central heating system, it is imperative that you hire a Gas registered engineer to install them for you. At Tim Reynolds, you can rely on our engineers who are highly experienced and of course, Gas Safe registered. This means that we have undertaken all the necessary training and are qualified to install, repair and service any heating appliances such as boilers, radiators, and thermostats.
