How to Choose the Perfect Heating Controller for Your Needs

If you want to maintain a comfortable and energy-efficient home, one of the most important things you need is smart-heating controls. Advancements in technology mean that various options are available, each offering different features and benefits.

By considering factors such as functionality, compatibility, and usability, you can make an informed decision when finding a heating controller, ensuring optimal comfort and control over your home's heating system.

Determine Your Heating System

The first step towards choosing the right heating controller is understanding your heating system.

There are different types of heating systems, such as:

• Central heating
• Electric baseboard heaters
• Underfloor heating

Each heating system may require specific controllers, so you must check that your system is compatible with the smart heating controls you want.

If you're unsure, Wiser’s team of heating experts can help you to determine the best option for your specific setup.

Consider Control Options

Heating controllers have various options, from basic manual controls to advanced programmable or smart features.

To choose the best heating controller option that suits you best, you must consider your preferences and lifestyle.

If you’re out and about a lot, using a smart heating controller connected to your phone is a must. This means that no matter where you are, you can stay in control of your heating and energy use.

Smart Room Thermostats are an excellent option for replacing the traditional central heating controller in your home. Delivering extra features like heating schedules and comfort zones, using heating controls like a smart room thermostat are brilliant at keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient.

For homes with Underfloor Heating, you can even install Smart Heating Controls to connect your underfloor heating to your smart home heating system for ultimate control and comfort!

Connectivity and Integration

For those after a more connected and automated home, consider heating controllers with connectivity and integration capabilities. Smart heating controllers from Wiser can be controlled remotely through the Wiser Home App on your phone, allowing you to adjust the temperature from anywhere.

Additionally, integration with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant enables hands-free control using voice commands.

User-Friendly Interface

The usability of the heating controller is essential for a hassle-free experience. Look for controllers with intuitive interfaces and clear displays that provide easy access to temperature settings and programming options, like the Wireless Smart Thermostat from Wiser.

Backlit displays and touchscreen controls can enhance usability, especially in low-light conditions.
