You can see how much you are spending overall, giving you greater control over your money.If you are away a lot or work long days, it will be practical for you to be able to change your home’s temperature from your phone. This allows you to save more money and still have your home heated exactly as you like when you get home.If you can’t set a pre-temperature with your current thermostat, then this is an ideal change for you and your home.Benefits of a smart thermostatBaxi Boilers & OpenthermThe Nest Smart thermostat is compatible with select OpenTherm Baxi boilers, allowing you to take advantage of load and weather compensation: - Load compensation: Load compensation works off room temperature. As the room gets closer to the desired temperature, the Nest thermostat will automatically cool the radiators down, which helps stops the room from overheating. The Nest will then distribute the heat evenly across the house so there isn't a noticeable drop in temperature. - Weather compensation: Weather compensation works off the outside temperature. If it's cold outside, the thermostat will adjust the temperature accordingly to keep you warm. All of the above helps you save on gas, improve heat distribution in your home and helps prolong the life of the boiler.More control over your energy billsThis is the most noticeable and beneficial reason people install smart thermostats. On average, your thermostat will pay for itself within the first year, leaving you years and years to make further savings. Smart thermostats react to your routinesOver time, your thermostat will work out your daily routines (e.g. when you leave for work and when you get home) and change its temperature accordingly. This means your home will always be the right temperature when you get home from work but can switch off during the day to save you money. This helps your house to feel more comforting and homely- especially in the cold winter months.Regular reportsIdeal for those trying to reduce their bills- smart thermostats give you monthly and annual reports showing exactly how much you have been spending.
