Questions about this work
How much does smart thermostat installation cost in Blackwood?
Most smart thermostat installations in Blackwood cost between £150 and £450 supplied and fitted. The price depends on the model, whether it controls hot water and how many smart radiator valves are added.
Can I fit a smart thermostat myself?
Some kits are designed for confident DIYers, but most involve mains-voltage wiring at the boiler or wiring centre. If you're not sure, a professional installer can fit it safely and check it works with your boiler.
Will a smart thermostat work with an old boiler?
Most boilers that use a standard room thermostat can work with a smart thermostat on simple on/off control. Older boilers won't support modulating control, so some advanced features may not be available.
Where should the thermostat go?
Ideally in a room you use often, away from radiators, direct sunlight, draughts and kitchen appliances. Wireless models can be placed on a shelf or table, which makes positioning easier.
