Get in control of your heating and reduce bills by up to 20%
A new generation of internet-based ‘smart’ heating controls has emerged designed to replace the rudimentary equipment found in most households – it gives homeowners total control over their heating and hot water and that can reduce energy consumption by up to 20% – a substantial saving on the average dual fuel tariff of around £1400 per year and welcome news for hard pressed families.
29 November 2013 – 84% of domestic energy consumption is used for heating and hot water, with 60% alone used on heating. With the recent round of price increases by the ‘Big 6’ energy companies – resulting in the average dual fuel bill rising to a worryingly high £1400 year – taking charge of your heating system should now be a top priority and will help keep bills down.
Remarkably the primary means of doing this in most households is with very basic heating controls, the heart of which is typically a dial operated room thermostat using decades old technology. Now things have finally moved on with a new generation of ‘smart’ heating controls. At the forefront of this revolution in home heating and hot water control is OWL, best known for their popular energy monitors.
With their new ‘Intuition Smart Heating Control’ homeowners really can take control of their heating and hot water using any Internet connected computer or device – desktop, laptop, tablet, even a smartphone, and from anywhere and anytime. It means you will never again heat an empty house, and research shows that smart heating controls can save up to 20% on heating bills. With typical installation costs that can mean a ‘payback’ of around 15 months or less.
The equipment is easily installed by a competent heating engineer or electrician and then all the homeowner needs is an Internet connection to access OWL’s web dashboard – from this they can programme and control their heating and hot water settings from wherever they happen to be – at work, on the train, on holiday, even waiting for a bus.
By not wasting energy when you are out or when no one is home an Internet based smart heating control means you can match heating and hot water requirements to your lifestyle. Overall that should mean a significant reduction in energy use without compromising comfort.
