How to choose the best Underfloor Heating Thermostat
Underfloor heating, or UFH for short, has many benefits. Whether you live in a Small Flat or a Detached House, there are smart heating solutions for you. So, after recently looking at the Best Types of Underfloor Heating, today we wanted to focus on how to find the perfect room thermostat for your UFH spaces.
How do Underfloor Heating Thermostats work?
Typically designed to be wall-mounted or free-standing tabletop devices, underfloor heating thermostats aim to provide Accurate Temperature Control for your home. They will often be programmable, enabling you to create heating schedules, and they should let you increase or decrease the temperature of your UFH system freely. But thermostats for underfloor heating can come with wildly different features and benefits.
What should I look out for?
Smart Control for Greater Understanding
No matter what heating system you use, Upgrading to Smart Room Thermostats is now commonplace. Getting temperature controls for your underfloor heating that come with smart features can add greater comfort and convenience, helping to make your energy use more visible. Some of the most popular additions include Insights that monitor your system, and Heating Control from your Phone.
Energy-Saving Features
In addition to the features that are designed for convenience, most smart room thermostats will also add heating controls that improve energy efficiency. These can come in the form of Smart Modes which provide automated energy use, or Room-to-Room Controls which reduce wastage in unused spaces. Wiser’s Smart Room Thermostats are built-in with these options, and they can help Save £575 per Year on your Energy Bills.
Heating System Compatibility & Integration
Many of these abilities lose their significance if you have multiple controls for different heating systems. That’s why, if you live somewhere that uses UFH alongside other heating sources, the best thermostat is one that can integrate your whole system. Thus, our underfloor heating thermostats allow you to do this via a UFH Controller, so all your heat sources can be managed in the same place: the Wiser Home App.
Cost
Finally, the best underfloor heating thermostats have to be cost-effective. Whilst smart room thermostats can save you money in the long run, the initial upgrade should be affordable to make the investment worthwhile.
