Professional Installation
Our Gas Safe registered engineer will remove your old thermostat and install your new smart controls.

We'll ensure everything is correctly connected and working with your heating system.

We'll connect your smart thermostat to your home WiFi network and configure all settings for optimal performance. This includes setting up zones (if applicable), temperature limits, and ensuring the thermostat can communicate reliably with your heating system.
App Setup & User Training
We'll download the app to your smartphone, walk you through the key features, and show you how to create schedules, adjust temperatures remotely, and use any special features like geofencing or smart learning. We'll make sure you're confident using your new controls before we leave.

Smart Thermostat Installation for Greenhithe Properties
Common Heating Issues in Greenhithe
The diverse housing stock in Greenhithe means we encounter a wide range of heating issues. In the older Victorian and Edwardian properties, we frequently find outdated heating systems struggling to cope with modern demands. These homes often have traditional radiator systems that were designed decades ago, and many still operate with old conventional boilers in need of replacement. Poor insulation in period properties means heating systems work harder, and we often recommend upgrading to more efficient condensing boilers alongside improved controls. In contrast, the newer developments like Ingress Park present different challenges. While the heating systems are modern, we've seen issues with pressurised systems losing pressure, often due to installation issues or minor leaks that need professional attention. The riverside location brings its own complications - properties near the Thames can experience higher humidity levels, which occasionally affects flue terminals and condensate pipes. We've also noticed that combination boilers in smaller flats sometimes struggle when multiple hot water outlets are used simultaneously, and we can advise on whether a system upgrade might improve performance. Frozen condensate pipes during harsh winters affect both old and new properties, and we offer preventative lagging services to avoid this common problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about smart thermostat installation in Greenhithe
Which smart thermostat brand is best?
There's no single "best" smart thermostat - the right choice depends on your heating system, budget, and priorities. Nest offers excellent learning capabilities and a premium app experience. Hive is reliable, affordable, and part of a broader smart home ecosystem. Tado excels at multi-zone control and geofencing. Honeywell Home provides professional-grade features with excellent reliability. Worcester Wave integrates seamlessly with Worcester Bosch boilers. We'll discuss your needs and recommend the best option for your situation.
Will a smart thermostat really save me money?
Most customers see heating bill reductions of 20-30% after installing a smart thermostat and using it effectively. Savings come from heating only when needed, maintaining optimal temperatures rather than overheating, and eliminating wasted energy when you're away. The exact savings depend on your current heating habits and how well you utilise smart features, but for most homes, a smart thermostat pays for itself within 1-2 years through reduced energy costs.
Can I install a smart thermostat myself?
While some smart thermostats are marketed as DIY-friendly, we strongly recommend professional installation. Incorrect wiring can damage your boiler, cause heating system failures, or create safety issues. Our Gas Safe registered engineers ensure your smart thermostat is correctly wired, safely installed, and properly configured for optimal performance. Professional installation also typically maintains your boiler warranty, whereas DIY installation might void it.
Do smart thermostats work with all heating systems?
Smart thermostats work with most modern heating systems including combi boilers, system boilers, and conventional boilers with hot water cylinders. Compatibility can vary by brand - some smart thermostats are better suited to certain system types. During our free consultation, we'll assess your heating system and confirm which smart thermostats are compatible. We'll also advise if any modifications are needed for installation.
Can I control my heating when I'm away from home?
Yes - that's one of the main benefits of smart thermostats. Once connected to your home WiFi and set up with the app, you can control your heating from anywhere with an internet connection. Forgot to turn off the heating before going on holiday? Adjust it from the airport. Want the house warm when you arrive home? Turn it on from the office. Many smart thermostats also offer geofencing, which automatically adjusts heating based on whether you're home or away.
What's geofencing and how does it work?
Geofencing uses your smartphone's location to automatically adjust heating. When you leave home (your phone exits a defined geographic area), the thermostat switches to an away mode, reducing heating to save energy. When you're heading home (your phone enters the area), heating automatically increases so your house is comfortable when you arrive. Brands like Tado and Nest offer advanced geofencing with multiple phone support, perfect for households where family members have different schedules.
Will a smart thermostat work if my WiFi goes down?
Yes - smart thermostats continue to function as regular thermostats even if WiFi is unavailable. You simply lose remote control and smart features temporarily. The thermostat will continue running your programmed schedule and maintaining temperature control. Most smart thermostats also have manual controls on the device itself, so you can always adjust temperature locally even without app access.
