Frequently asked questions

Can I get free smart heating controls in BS9 through the Warm Homes Plan?

Yes. Smart heating controls are a funded measure under the Warm Homes Plan for eligible BS9 households. They are often installed alongside other measures such as insulation or a heat pump as part of a whole-house energy improvement. Submit the form to check if your BS9 property and household qualify.

What are smart heating controls?

Smart heating controls include programmable thermostats, smart thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), and zone controls that allow you to schedule and adjust heating room by room via an app or timer. They prevent heating empty rooms and reduce energy waste without sacrificing comfort.

How much can smart heating controls save in BS9?

The Energy Saving Trust estimates that smart controls can reduce heating energy use by up to 30% compared to basic on/off controls, saving a typical household £100 to £250 per year. Savings are higher in properties that currently have no timing or zone control at all.

Who qualifies for free smart heating controls under the Warm Homes Plan?

Eligibility requires a qualifying benefit (Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support, or similar) and an EPC rating of D, E, F or G. Smart controls are typically offered as a secondary measure alongside insulation or heating upgrades. Owner-occupiers and private tenants with landlord permission can both apply.

Are smart heating controls compatible with my current boiler?

Most modern smart thermostats are compatible with gas and oil boilers installed after 2000. Compatibility is confirmed during the free survey of your BS9 home. If you are also receiving a heat pump as part of the Warm Homes Plan, smart controls will be specified to match the new system.

How long does installation take?

Fitting smart heating controls in a typical BS9 property takes half a day to a full day, including commissioning and a walkthrough of how to use the controls. Complete the eligibility check now to secure your funded installation.
