FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my existing thermostat?
Upgrading to a modern programmable or smart thermostat gives you precise temperature control, scheduling features, and remote access via smartphone apps. These capabilities can reduce energy waste by 10–20 %, lower utility bills, and improve overall comfort. Newer models also offer maintenance alerts and integration with smart-home ecosystems like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
Which smart thermostat brands do your Manchester technicians install?
Our certified HVAC technicians are trained to install and configure all major UK-market thermostats, including Nest, Honeywell Home (T6, Evohome), Ecobee, Drayton Wiser, Tado°, and Hive Active Heating. We also handle proprietary controls supplied by leading boiler manufacturers such as Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Ideal.
Will a new thermostat work with my current boiler, heat pump, or air-conditioning system?
In most cases, yes. We carry out a free compatibility check before any installation. Our technicians verify voltage (24 V vs 230 V), control type (on/off, opentherm, modulating, heat-pump specific), and number of stages. If any additional relay or wiring upgrade is required, we’ll advise you in advance and can complete the work during the same visit.
How long does a professional thermostat upgrade take, and will my heating or cooling be off for long?
A straightforward like-for-like replacement typically takes 45–60 minutes. Smart thermostat upgrades that need new wiring, receiver modules, or Wi-Fi setup can take 1.5–2.5 hours. Your heating and cooling will only be switched off during the physical wiring phase, usually less than 20 minutes, so household disruption is minimal.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after the upgrade?
Savings vary with usage habits and property insulation, but most Manchester homeowners see annual reductions of £80–£200. Programmable schedules prevent heating or cooling empty rooms, geofencing lowers temperatures automatically when you’re away, and data analytics suggest efficiency improvements, compounding your long-term savings.
Do you provide warranty and after-sales support on thermostat installations in Manchester?
Absolutely. All thermostats we supply come with the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 2 years, extendable to 5 years on select models). Our labour is guaranteed for 12 months, covering workmanship and call-backs. We also offer optional maintenance plans that include annual system checks, firmware updates, and priority repair scheduling throughout Greater Manchester.
