FAQs
What advantages will a smart thermostat upgrade bring to my Lancing home?
Upgrading to a smart thermostat lets you program or remotely adjust temperatures via a mobile app, integrate with voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Home, and receive real-time energy-use reports. In typical Sussex homes, these features can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %, keep rooms at consistent comfort levels, and alert you instantly if your system detects a fault or an unexpected temperature drop—ideal for protecting pipes in winter.
Is my existing boiler, heat pump, or air-conditioning system compatible with a smart thermostat?
Most modern condensing boilers, combi boilers, and inverter heat pumps found in Lancing properties use standard 24-volt (TPI/OpenTherm) or simple on/off switching controls, both of which are compatible with the leading smart thermostats we install. During your free survey, our engineer will confirm wiring options, check for required C-wire (common wire) or provide an add-a-wire kit where necessary, and verify that advanced features such as modulating control or weather compensation can be activated on your current system.
How long does professional installation take and will my heating or cooling be offline for long?
A straightforward like-for-like replacement of a wall thermostat typically takes 45-60 minutes. If cabling upgrades or additional temperature sensors are being added, allow up to two hours. Your heating/cooling will be switched off only while we isolate the circuit and test the new thermostat—usually less than 20 minutes total—so your household experiences minimal disruption.
Can I still control the system if my Wi-Fi goes down or I’m not tech-savvy?
Yes. All smart thermostats we supply feature on-device controls—physical buttons, touchscreens, or a rotary dial—so you can manually set temperatures and schedules even without an internet connection. When Wi-Fi is restored, the thermostat automatically re-syncs with the cloud and your mobile app. We also offer a brief tutorial after installation and provide step-by-step printed guides for customers who prefer traditional control methods.
What is the typical cost of a thermostat upgrade in Lancing and are there any local incentives?
A standard smart thermostat supplied, installed, and configured by our qualified engineers starts at £235 inc. VAT. Multi-zone smart controls or wireless radiator valves add roughly £90-£120 per zone. West Sussex County Council periodically runs energy-efficiency grants; we track these schemes and will advise you if funding is available. Business customers may be able to claim the equipment as a capital allowance, reducing taxable profits.
Do thermostat upgrades come with a warranty and ongoing support?
All thermostats we install carry the full manufacturer’s warranty—usually two to five years depending on the model. Our labour is guaranteed for 12 months, covering wiring, mounting, and network setup. If you opt into our optional £6.95/month care plan, we provide annual firmware checks, priority call-outs within 24 hours, and complimentary troubleshooting for any app or connectivity issues, ensuring your system in Lancing runs optimally year-round.
