FAQs

What smart-home platforms are compatible with your heating, air-conditioning and dehumidifier systems?

Our controls work natively with all major ecosystems—including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings—via Wi-Fi or Zigbee. If you already have a smart thermostat such as Nest, Ecobee or Tado°, we can link the new HVAC and dehumidifier hardware through open APIs or Matter-certified bridges, allowing you to manage temperature, humidity and scheduling from one app or through voice commands.

How does a smart dehumidifier help properties in Harrogate’s climate?

Although Harrogate isn’t especially tropical, its average relative humidity sits around 80 % for much of the year, and older Yorkshire stone buildings are prone to damp. A smart dehumidifier automatically monitors indoor moisture and runs only when levels exceed your chosen set-point (typically 50–55 %). This prevents mould growth, protects timber floors and furniture, and makes your heating system more efficient because drier air feels warmer at lower thermostat settings.

Can you integrate smart controls with my existing boiler, radiators or air-conditioning unit?

In most cases, yes. We install wireless relay modules and smart TRVs that communicate with the central hub, giving you room-by-room control without replacing radiators. Gas and oil boilers can be upgraded with OpenTherm or on/off relays, while many split A/C units accept IR or wired adapters for smart operation. During the free survey we test compatibility, explain any limitations and provide a fixed quotation for the retrofit work.

What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?

A typical semi-detached property in Harrogate needs one day for the HVAC control upgrade and an additional half-day for dehumidifier installation. We begin with a pre-visit electrical and F-Gas safety check, mount the smart hub near your router, fit sensor modules in each key room and connect wiring centres at the boiler or air-handler. All work is carried out by Gas Safe and REFCOM-certified engineers, and we tidy up and recycle any packaging before handing over the system and giving you an app tutorial.

How much can I save on energy bills with a smart, integrated system?

Customers typically see savings of 15–25 % on combined gas and electricity costs. Zoned heating avoids overheating unused rooms, adaptive algorithms pre-warm the house when tariffs are lowest, and the dehumidifier’s compressor is modulated so it runs only when humidity spikes. Because drier air reduces the perceived temperature, many homeowners are comfortable lowering their thermostat by 1–2 °C, which alone can cut heating costs by around 10 %.

Are your engineers certified, and what after-installation support do you offer?

All installers hold Gas Safe and F-Gas Category 1 certificates, are NICEIC Part P qualified for electrical work and have undergone manufacturer training on the smart-home platform we supply. You receive a two-year workmanship warranty, manufacturer warranties of up to five years on hardware, and lifetime remote support via phone, email or video call. We also offer optional annual servicing packages that include a full HVAC performance check, firmware updates and filter replacements.
