What It Is
Heating controls encompass the devices and systems that manage when, where and how a property is heated. This includes programmable thermostats, smart thermostats, time clocks, zone valves and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). Upgrading heating controls allows occupants to heat only the rooms they need, at the times they need, reducing waste and improving comfort.
Why It Matters
Many homes still rely on a single timer or manual controls to manage their heating. Without proper controls, heating systems run longer than necessary, heating rooms that are unoccupied and wasting energy. Upgrading controls is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve heating efficiency.
- Reduces energy waste by heating only when and where needed
- Improves occupant comfort with consistent temperatures
- Low-cost measure with fast payback
- Often required alongside other retrofit measures under PAS 2030
