How to Upgrade Your Electric Underfloor Heating with a Smart Thermostat

A lot of homeowners and property managers want to modernize their electric underfloor heating systems without the hassle and expense of tearing up the whole floor. Luckily, adding a smart thermostat is a simple and affordable way to boost comfort, save on energy costs, and bring some smart tech into older homes.

Why Switch to a Smart Thermostat?

Old thermostats usually don't offer great accuracy, programming options, or remote control. By switching to a smart thermostat, you can gain:

- Energy-saving scheduling

- Control from your smartphone

- Real-time monitoring

- Voice control with Alexa or Google Assistant

- A sleek touchscreen display

This upgrade is particularly useful in places like Europe, the UK, Canada, and Nordic countries where electric underfloor heating is often found in bathrooms, kitchens, and apartments.

Important Features for Upgrading

If you’re looking to replace outdated thermostats, keep these features in mind to ensure you’re getting a good deal:

1. Compatibility with Existing Sensors

Some smart thermostats work with both 10k and 12k NTC floor sensors, making it easier to install without replacing existing sensors.

2. Compact Design

Thermostats should fit standard wall boxes (86mm in China or 60mm in the EU). This helps make installation smooth during renovations.

3. No Central Hub Needed

Our thermostat connects directly to WiFi, so you won't need to buy an extra hub or gateway.

4. Energy-Saving Features

Look for smart features like open window detection, eco mode, and geofencing to help save energy—great for vacation homes and rentals.

5. Easy Updates and Smart Home Compatibility

Over-the-Air updates keep your thermostat running smoothly, and being voice assistant compatible means it’s ready for the future.
