Smart home technology (such as Hive and Tado) can help you save energy as you’re able to control your heating from your phone, from anywhere. This means you can easily turn it off when you don’t need it, like when you’re out of the house, and that can help you save money. Using smart radiator valves means you have control of heating individual rooms so you’re only heating the parts of your home that you’re using.
