The amber glow marks the occupied room’s comfort request, not measured heat output. Room to room is a shortened example using compatible presence sensors and room heating controls. A 2°C reduction follows a configurable empty-room delay, not every brief movement. Presence detection should keep comfort settings while someone remains in the room. Actual warming takes time; suitable schedules can prepare rooms earlier. Settings and delays are tailored to your home and heating system. Potential savings depend on your property, usage and existing controls.
The sequence is shortened. Targets change straight away; actual room temperatures change gradually. Welcome Home uses an agreed phone-location boundary to start preparing the heating, with permission and compatible controls. It does not unlock your door.

Energy Saving Trust explains that heating controls can help avoid overheating. Whether smart controls save money depends on how you already use your heating.
Read Energy Saving Trust’s heating guidance ↗How this illustration works
The bar compares four equally weighted rooms against an outdoor temperature of 10°C. It adds each target’s difference from 10°C; the marker represents all four targets at 20°C. This simplified heat-loss comparison is not a boiler-power reading, energy calculation or savings forecast. A warmer colour indicates a higher target, not proof the heating is currently running.
Actual demand and savings depend on property size, insulation, heat loss, system efficiency, existing controls, occupancy, schedule, weather and desired temperatures. Rooms differ in size and heat loss and exchange heat with each other. Standard controls with radiator valves can already provide different room temperatures. This example isolates the effect of the temperatures you choose; smart controls add convenient coordination and schedules. Heat pumps and other systems may need a different control approach.
A manufacturer-reported average
22% less heating energy
tado° reports this average among its users. Your saving depends on your home and how you already use the heating.
Manufacturer figures & sources below ↓A small temperature change
20°C → 18°C
In our example with 10°C outside, that means 20% less heat loss from the affected room while it stays cooler. It is not a 20% saving on your whole heating bill.

Included in this estimate
- Home: individual room targets
- Away: lower targets on your selected days
- Night: cooler downstairs, comfortable bedrooms
- Summer: no room-heating savings in unticked months
One combined estimate, not separate savings added together. Presence reductions belong in Home settings; geofencing belongs in Away/Home timing. Neither adds an extra percentage.
Assumptions, limitations and how the estimate works
10°C is an adjustable modelling assumption, not a UK annual weather average. Four equally weighted zones each represent a quarter of the home’s heat loss. Each week has seven nights, the selected Away periods and Home filling the remaining hours. Current and smart schedules use the same period lengths. No hour is counted twice.
For each period the model sums each room target minus the outdoor temperature and multiplies by weekly hours. It compares the smart total with the current-setup total and applies their ratio to annual room-heating cost. Lower settings must represent sustained periods, not brief movements between rooms.
The Monthly view shares the annual estimate equally across selected heating months. It is an average heating-month illustration, not a weather-based bill forecast: cold-month bills differ from mild-month bills. Unticked months show £0 for room heating in both cases. Hot water can still cost money in summer and is excluded. Changing selected months redistributes the annual budget; it does not reduce the annual cost entered.
This steady-state model does not predict measured temperatures, warm-up and cool-down times, heat moving between rooms, solar gains, boiler cycling, changing weather or heat-pump efficiency. Existing schedules may already save energy. A single current temperature per period approximates homes with different existing room settings; a fully switched-off period is not modelled.
Actual results depend on property size, insulation, heat loss, system efficiency, existing controls, occupancy, schedule, weather, temperatures and tariff. Device power, installation and subscriptions are excluded. Short reductions may save little or nothing. Choose comfortable settings suited to your household and system. If you do not know your room-heating cost, treat this as an example rather than a personal forecast.
Energy Saving Trust explains that heating controls can reduce unnecessary heating and savings depend on existing controls and habits. Read the UK heating-controls guidance ↗. This is our illustrative model, not an Energy Saving Trust calculator or a validated savings forecast.

What about individual rooms?
Drayton cites BEAMA research reporting a 19% reduction in energy use from adding individual room control. This includes traditional thermostatic radiator valves as well as smart radiator thermostats, so it is not a saving exclusive to smart controls.

About the 2°C example
Our simple heat-loss model compares a room maintained at 20°C with the same room maintained at 18°C, with 10°C outside. The temperature gap falls from 10°C to 8°C: 20% less heat loss to outside under those fixed conditions. With 0°C outside, the same reduction would be 10%. These are model examples, not measured savings or a UK average.
A short setback may not let a room cool by the full 2°C. Actual bill savings also depend on how many rooms are reduced, for how long, heat moving between rooms, insulation and heating-system performance. The calculator combines your chosen temperatures and hours; this example adds no extra saving.
Energy Saving Trust says lowering a thermostat from 22°C to 21°C could save £120 a year in Great Britain. It does not give a universal 2°C figure here, so we have not simply doubled that amount. Keep occupied rooms comfortable for the people using them. Read the guidance ↗

Whole-home smart heating FAQs
Your questions,
answered.
Can smart heating reduce my energy bills?
Smart heating can reduce wasted energy by using suitable room temperatures and schedules instead of heating every room equally. Savings vary with your home, insulation, previous controls and heating habits; we do not promise a fixed percentage.
Is this a whole-home heating package?
The Wiser, tado° X and evohome examples include eight smart radiator controls, central equipment and boiler control, based on a three-bedroom home. Aqara is offered separately for selected-room radiator control, with your existing system controlling the boiler.
Do I need a monthly subscription?
The listed Wiser, evohome and Aqara room-control features do not require a subscription. tado° X includes core app control and room schedules without one; AI Assist is optional at £3.99 a month or £29.99 a year and adds advanced automation. Prices and features are subject to the manufacturer’s terms.
How long do smart radiator valve batteries last?
Aqara W600 uses AA alkaline batteries; its up-to-two-year claim is based on Thread-mode testing, while our proposed setup uses Zigbee. Wiser second-generation heads quote more than two years with supplied alkaline AAs. tado° X heads recharge by USB-C and quote up to a year per charge. evohome HR92 heads use AAs and quote approximately two years. Actual life varies.
Can I keep my existing radiators and boiler?
Often, yes. Smart radiator heads fit compatible thermostatic valve bodies, and we check your boiler’s control requirements. Incompatible valves, additional wiring or other changes are quoted before installation.
Can I start with fewer rooms?
Yes. Our Aqara option is designed for one room or several, using your existing boiler controls. We quote for the radiator heads and compatible hub you need. Smaller installations of the whole-home systems can also be discussed.
Will it work with a hot-water cylinder?
A suitable system may also control stored hot water, but these prices use a combi-boiler example. We assess the cylinder controls, heating circuits and additional equipment separately.
Where do you install smart heating?
