When it comes to keeping your home warm and your energy bills under control, timing is everything. Smart heating technology has made it easier than ever to heat your home exactly when you need to, without wasting energy. With a smart thermostat like Wiser, you can create personalised schedules that adapt to your daily routine, delivering comfort and efficient heating throughout your home.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to make the most of your smart heating schedules and answer common questions.
What Are Smart Heating Schedules?
A smart thermostat allows you to control your heating automatically, based on your household’s daily routine. Rather than leaving the heating on all day or constantly adjusting it manually, a well-planned schedule ensures warmth when it’s needed and savings when it’s not.
With Wiser’s smart heating system, you can easily set up heating schedules via the Wiser Home app. Each room, or zone, can have its own schedule, meaning you can keep the living room cosy in the evening, warm up the kitchen for breakfast, and let the bedrooms cool down during the day. This zoned control is key to achieving efficient heating across the home.
What is the Most Efficient Way to Schedule Heating?
The most efficient heating schedules are those that reflect how you use your home. There’s no one-size-fits-all setting, as the goal is to ensure rooms are heated only when occupied. For example, if everyone leaves for work or school at 8 am, set your heating to turn off or lower shortly after. Then, schedule it to come back on about 30 minutes before you return home, so the temperature is just right when you walk through the door.
Wiser’s smart thermostat makes this effortless. You can create different schedules for weekdays and weekends, adjust settings remotely, and even use Wiser’s clever Away Mode when you’re not at home for longer periods. This mode reduces all setpoints with a tap, helping you avoid unnecessary energy use while keeping your home frost-free.
What Should I Set My Thermostat Schedules To?
When setting up your heating schedule, small adjustments can make a big difference. Start by setting each room to the temperature you find most comfortable. We’d recommend around 20°C for living spaces and 16–18°C for bedrooms as a good guide. Then, think about the times you use each space and amend accordingly.
For instance, you might set your living room to warm up half an hour before you typically relax in the evening, while the bedrooms can heat up just before bedtime and cool down during the night. The kitchen might only need heating for a short time in the morning, while preparing for work and eating breakfast.
