Energy saving is an increasingly relevant topic. People are trying to reduce their consumption mainly for financial savings, but also for ecological reasons. There are, of course, several ways to save energy at home. Given that heating is typically the highest expense, it pays to focus on it. However, acquiring energy-efficient technologies is not enough. It is also essential to set them up correctly. How to do it?
Smart heating systems are based on the latest technologies that regulate temperature with high precision based on zonal and time schedules and other parameters. This means they heat only where needed and as much as needed – completely automatically.
The advantage of wireless Wifi thermostats is also the ability to control heating remotely via mobile, or integrate into smart home systems. This allows you to respond to changes in your schedule or temperature requirements at home anytime and from anywhere. Individual models then feature various other functions for optimizing heating, such as adaptive learning, weather forecast-based prediction, open window detection, geofencing, etc.
Smart heating can reduce energy consumption for heating by up to 30%, which represents tens of thousands of crowns annually for a family house. Given the relatively low cost of these systems, the return on investment is on average 1-2 years.
When choosing smart heating, it is necessary to consider the heat source and type of heating system.
Individual smart heating systems then differ in their functions, regulation accuracy, power supply, control, and other parameters. You can choose components according to your needs and the size of the property. Some smart thermostats also allow you to control air conditioning and DHW heating. Solutions from brands like Honeywell, Siemens, and Danfoss are a guarantee of quality.

Choosing a smart heating system is not the end. The key to optimal thermal comfort and savings is also the correct installation and setting of the Wifi thermostat.
Temperature sensors measure the current temperature in the room and can be either part of the room thermostat or external. In both cases, their correct placement is very important to avoid distorted measurements.
Do not place the sensor or thermostat near windows and doors, radiators, and other sources that may affect the measured temperature.
For proper setting of zonal and time regulation, consider the daily routine of each household member. Choose a comfortable temperature for morning and evening hours when people are typically at home. At night and when you are at work or school, you can reduce the temperature by about 2 °C.
Set the temperature not only by time but also by rooms. While 24 °C is recommended in the bathroom, 19 °C is sufficient in the kitchen and bedroom. You can choose 22 °C in the living room and children's rooms.
When setting time programs and temperature zones, keep in mind that each degree represents a saving of about 6% in energy, so it pays to think carefully about thermostat settings.
Connecting the Wifi thermostat with other smart home systems allows you not only centralized management but also additional savings opportunities. For example, if you include automatic blind control in your daily "scenarios," you can reduce heat loss or overheating of the home and maximize natural light.
In addition to heating and shading, you can include lighting, home security systems, and much more in the scenarios. You can switch all systems and devices to "away from home" or "holiday" mode with the press of a single button.
Smart heating systems combined with the right habits can save households tens of thousands of crowns annually. If you also want to reduce energy costs, do not hesitate to contact us.
