With internet connectivity, smart controls provide the option to link devices with an internet connection such as smartphones and computers in order to control your heating system. In addition to providing the option to control your central heating system remotely, the apps provided by industry-leading smart control manufacturers offer wide-ranging functionality.

Apps for smart controls also provide a wide range of preset functions providing the option to quickly and easily set and edit the heating schedule for your home. Smart controls also provide clear information on energy usage within a property making it easier to identify areas where efficiency improvements can be made. Overall, investing in a smart thermostat for your home can provide significant long-term savings in improved energy efficiency.

Flexibility

Smart controls provide the option for flexible heating solutions with the functionality to set individual temperatures for different rooms. This ease of use can make the process of saving energy whilst heating your property significantly more convenient and manageable. Schedules can also be programmed for different radiators, for example, if you require your towel rail to be heated within a specific time frame each morning.

Preset Options

One of the main benefits of smart controls is in providing a wide range of preset options for heating schedules. High-quality smart controls also offer an easy-to-use interface meaning that it is convenient to adjust or pause a schedule quickly and efficiently as required. The remote control provided by the device’s wireless connectivity means that you can adjust this from anywhere in the world, helping provide peace of mind that the heating is off whilst you are on holiday.

Clear Data

Smart controls provide clear and concise information on a household’s energy usage providing a clear roadmap for areas where improvements in energy efficiency can be made. There is also a range of different options available on smart control devices including modes for energy saving ensuring that energy is used efficiently and cost-effectively.

We need to check you are eligible for the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) and/or Great British Insulation Schemes (GBIS) and/or Land Registry (LR). To do this, for ECO and GBIS we would like to share your information with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) via Energy Saving Trust who will verify whether or not you are receiving the relevant benefits to be eligible for either scheme. To check the ownership of your property as registered with HM Land Registry, we need to submit your information through an online checking service provided by the Energy Saving Trust (EST). This will enable us to securely verify the property’s private ownership against the data on the register. EST will not use this data for any other purpose.

Please note that it is not possible for Energy Saving Trust or us, the company using this service, to see which benefits you are through this service. DWP will only confirm whether you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, not which one. This will not have any impact on future benefit payments.

If you do not want us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust, you will be required to provide copies of documents that provide proof of the benefits you are in receipt of from the DWP.

If you go on to receive funding through ECO4 or GBIS your data may be audited by Ofgem and/or your Energy Supplier to ensure a valid eligibility check has been completed for you. For full information on what will happen to the data we collect about you, please refer to the privacy notices from your Energy Supplier and installer, Energy Saving Trust, DWP, and Ofgem.

By ticking the box below, and providing your details, you agree to share this data with the DWP via Energy Saving Trust.

You can contact us to withdraw your consent for us to share your data with DWP via Energy Saving Trust. If you withdraw consent, the collected data will continue to be processed, however no new data will be collected or used for further processing. We will be required to keep a record of any data already processed for the purposes of Ofgem audits however your data would only be audited in cases where you have received funding from ECO4 or GBIS. Data relating to ECO4 and GBIS eligibility checks will be retained until 30 September 2026 unless otherwise notified by Ofgem.
