Smart technology is everywhere. From video doorbells to connected lighting systems. But when it comes to your heating, one of the most popular upgrades is the smart thermostat. These clever devices claim to save you money, make your heating more efficient, and give you complete control from your smartphone.
At BGHC Plumbing and Heating, this month’s blog looks at smart thermostats and whether they are worth it. For information, call us in Glasgow on 01355 201 202.

What is a Smart Thermostat?
Unlike a traditional thermostat, which simply turns your heating on or off at a set temperature, a smart thermostat gives you more control and flexibility. Most connect to your Wi-Fi and allow you to:
- Control your heating from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
- Adjust temperatures room by room (with compatible systems).
- Create custom heating schedules that match your lifestyle.
- Track your energy usage in real time.
- Integrate with smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home.

What are the Benefits?
Energy Saving
Smart thermostats can help reduce your energy bills by only heating your home when it’s needed. Some models even “learn” your routine, automatically adjusting heating patterns to cut waste.
Remote Control
With a smart thermostat, you can adjust the heating from your phone before you arrive. No more heating an empty house.
Zoned Heating
Advanced systems allow you to control heating room by room. That means you can keep your living room cosy while not wasting energy heating unused bedrooms.
Are They Worth It?
For many UK households, a smart thermostat is absolutely worth it. The combination of convenience, control, and energy savings makes it a smart investment, especially with energy prices at record highs.
However, the value depends on your lifestyle. If you’re out of the house often, have irregular routines, or want greater control over heating costs, you’ll see the most benefit. For households with a consistent schedule and already-efficient heating habits, savings will be smaller.
