As a member of CIHPE and APHC, Netatmo has partnered with CMS Distribution to showcase our full range of smart solutions, including our Smart Heating Solution and the latest Smart AC Controller, which allows users to adjust the temperature of their AC or air-to-air heat pump remotely.
Higher bills are here to stay, according to energy bosses, but Netatmo is helping UK residents to keep calm and adjust to a new, more sustainable way of running their home by saving electricity. Here are some effective and accessible solutions to reduce heating bills with Netatmo Smart Heating Solution.
Do not heat continuously
Energy Saving Trust considers that reducing the average temperature of a home by 1° can save 10% on the energy bill. In order to maintain a comfortable home while reducing the average temperature, it is important to understand when each room should be heated. When people are in the office, at school, sleeping or away for the weekend, it is not necessary to keep all rooms at 20°C. Based on 5 questions asked in the Netatmo Energy application, the Netatmo Smart Thermostat defines a heating program according to the occupants’ lifestyle, so that the house is only heated when necessary. Of course, if the holidays are shortened or the schedule is changed, the heating can be restarted remotely from the application.
Don’t heat every room the same
Similarly, while it is nice to shower in a 23°C bathroom in winter, it is generally recommended to sleep in cool rooms with temperatures no higher than 16°C. Netatmo Smart Radiator Valves, which are compatible with 90% of hot water radiators, allow the users to adjust the level of comfort room by room and determine a heating program for each room that is adapted to the occupants’ lifestyle.
Simple to implement solutions and significant, measurable gains
From an installer’s perspective, it takes less than an hour to install a Netatmo Smart Thermostat and less than 10 minutes to install a Smart Radiator Valve (Thermostatic Head) – with no risk of water leakage. If we consider, as the Energy Saving Trust does, that smart heating solutions help the users to save £75 on average each year on their bill – and no doubt much more in the last winter with the rising cost of energy, each of these solutions, compatible with the majority of heating systems, will be paid back in less than a year.
