Heating Controls Installation
We fit and set up thermostats, programmers and smart heating controls so your home is easier to heat and warmer only when you need it. A proper compatibility check, a tidy install and everything tested before we leave.
What we cover with heating controls
From a straightforward thermostat swap to a full smart heating setup, we check what your system can support before we start.
Smart Thermostats
Wi-Fi connected thermostats set up with the app, schedules and heating zones configured properly.
Programmers & Timers
Replacing or upgrading heating programmers so your system runs to a schedule that actually suits your household.
Wireless Receivers & Sensors
Fitting receivers and room sensors so signals reach the boiler reliably, without dead spots.
Compatibility Checks
Assessing your existing boiler, wiring and valves before recommending which controls will actually work.
Getting more from your heating system
Heating controls installation covers anything that regulates when and how your heating comes on, from a simple room thermostat to a full smart system with app control and room-by-room scheduling. It's often a smaller job than a boiler swap, but done properly it makes a real difference to comfort and how efficiently your heating runs. It suits homes with an ageing or basic setup, and anyone upgrading to a smart thermostat that works with their existing boiler.
We start by checking what your current system can actually support, your boiler type, existing wiring and any valves already in place, because not every control works with every setup. From there it's a case of isolating power safely, fitting the new thermostat, programmer or receiver, and wiring or pairing it correctly. For smart controls, that includes getting the app set up, the Wi-Fi connected and a schedule programmed that suits how your household actually lives, not just a default setting left as-is.
A heating control is only as good as the setup behind it, so we test everything before we leave.
Placement matters more than people expect. A thermostat sat in direct sunlight, near a radiator, or in a draughty hallway will give false readings and mess with the whole system's timing, so we think about where it goes, not just what it is. Once it's fitted, we run through the schedule and controls with you so you're not left guessing how to use it.
More information
We cover this across Brighton, Hove, Woodingdean, Worthing, Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea, Haywards Heath, Seaford and the surrounding Sussex area, usually alongside other central heating or boiler work, though it stands fine as a job on its own. If you've had a boiler upgrade recently and the controls have been left as they were, this is often the easy bit that gets missed.
Getting the placement and setup right matters just as much as the product you choose.
If you're not sure what your current system will support, that's fine, that's exactly what the initial check is for. We'll tell you plainly what will and won't work before any money changes hands, and talk you through the sensible options rather than pushing the most expensive one.
