How much do smart thermostats really save?

With high energy prices likely here to stay, customers are looking for ways to save on heating costs like never before. tado° has found that its smart thermostats will save around £294 a year in the average home – with many houses saving more based on how much energy they consume.

tado°’s findings comes against a backdrop of rising energy costs, according to data from the government, BEIS, and Oftem. tado° also found that users save on average 22 per cent a year on their heating costs, protecting themselves from the rising costs of living.

UK energy prices that can be passed on to consumers are currently capped at around £2,500 per household a year via the government’s Energy Price Guarantee –but that’s still a rise of 27 per cent since last April. For the average home, fitting tado° will save an average of £294 per year. With its smart thermostats starting at £99.99, they will soon pay for themselves.

Bill forecast tado° has been doubling down on its energy saving methods and has created a way for homes to see room by room how much energy the property is using. This level of detail and understanding allows your customers to become their own energy managers, and identify which rooms use more energy than others. Those who are looking to save money can take action by lowering the temperature in one room more than another, where the heating consumption is used more than others.

One of the most recent updates to tado° smart thermostats is the ability to predict the monthly bill before it arrives, which is a useful way to help with budgeting. By comparing the prediction with the monthly direct debit for gas usage, users can check in advance if the heating budget is on track, or if they need to take measures to meet their target.

What’s more, heating engineers can save money too. With the new tado° Installer Programme, fitting a tado° device can earn rewards that can be redeemed against prizes from laptops to headphones, coffee machines, gift cards and more.

The programme includes training on tado° products, exclusive news, tips and tricks, as well as a five-year extended warranty. To register, head to: www.tado.com/tadoprofessional
