Heating costs are a significant part of the running costs of a house or apartment. Smart thermostats help owners to use energy more efficiently - and increase living comfort at the same time. The technology is now fully developed, easy to retrofit and often even eligible for subsidies.
What smart thermostats can do
Modern devices regulate the room temperature according to demand - for example via daily programs, geofencing or window contacts. This means that heating is only used when it is really necessary. This reduces consumption without sacrificing a comfortable temperature.
Individual control via app
Many systems can be conveniently operated via smartphone app - even when you're on the move. For example, the heating can be switched on before you get home. Consumption statistics and error notifications also help with energy management.
Retrofitting also possible in existing buildings
Most smart thermostats can be installed on existing radiator valves - without any structural changes. This makes them particularly attractive for owners who want to gain more control over their energy consumption without making a large investment.
Promotion and combination with other systems
Smart heating control can be part of KfW-subsidized modernizations - for example as part of "Efficiency House" renovations. Combined with smart roller shutters or window contacts, additional savings potential can be tapped into.
Conclusion
Smart thermostats are a simple but effective step towards energy efficiency. Owners benefit from lower heating costs, greater comfort and a contribution to climate protection - without any major technical effort.
