Heating Controls Installation

What heating controls installation covers

Heating controls are the parts that tell your boiler and heating system when to run and how warm to make your home or premises. Installation typically includes:

• Replacing or fitting a room thermostat, programmable thermostat, or timeclock
• Installing programmers for heating and hot water where applicable
• Upgrading to wireless controls to avoid disruptive cabling (where suitable)
• Connecting and configuring controls to work with your boiler and existing heating system
• Checking relevant wiring, fused spurs, and basic safety isolation
• Testing operation, heating demand, and shut-off to confirm correct response
• Adjusting settings for practical schedules and comfortable set points

When this service is a good fit

This service is ideal if your heating is hard to control, comes on at the wrong times, or never seems to reach a steady temperature. It also suits homeowners and landlords who want a clearer schedule, better temperature accuracy, or an upgrade from older manual controls. If you are managing multiple rooms, it can be the first step towards zoning and more consistent comfort.

What to expect during installation

The job starts with checks on your existing controls, boiler compatibility, and how your heating is currently wired and configured. The new control is then installed, connected, and set up to match your system, followed by functional testing to confirm heating demand and shutdown work properly. You will be shown how to use the controls and how to adjust key settings without compromising efficiency.

After installation: setup, optimisation, and next steps

Once installed, correct settings make the difference. You will get guidance on schedules, temperature targets, and simple tweaks that can improve comfort without running the heating longer than needed. If the system still behaves unpredictably, further diagnostics may be recommended around valves, pumps, sensors, or circulation issues.
