Underfloor heating brings comfortable, even heat to your home - but did you know that a smart heating system can also bring savings?
The smart system optimises heating according to the price of electricity, allowing you to take advantage of the best times and make significant savings. You can adjust temperatures according to your needs and preferences directly from your phone, avoiding unnecessary waste heat and reducing energy costs. In this blog, we introduce Themo Smart Thermostat and discuss its benefits with our partner Themo Nordic Oy, Iiro Karttunen.
How to turn underfloor heating from an energy guzzler into a savings machine
In August 2021, a customer in Espoo installed a Themo Smart Thermostat in his private house. During the year, electricity consumption was reduced by 19%, with the biggest savings occurring during the cold winter months. On average, the savings amounted to €127 per month, and can amount to as much as €1,500 per year - a significant reduction in electricity bills.
In the bathroom, people often want to keep the temperature high because they walk around barefoot. However, underfloor heating is often seen as an energy waster - and this is true if not properly controlled. A constant base temperature is recommended, as it helps moisture to evaporate quickly and prevents damage. However, setting the temperature too high consumes unnecessary energy. Properly adjusted and with intelligent control, underfloor heating can be an energy-efficient solution, and you can still enjoy a comfortably warm floor under your bare feet.
Themo Smart Thermostat monitors the price of electricity on the stock exchange and always optimises heating according to the cheapest prices. When the pricing of electricity shifts from hourly to 15-minute periods, Themo Smart Thermostat automatically adapts and makes optimal use of the more accurate low-cost periods.
Intelligently adaptive heating - adjust freely and save
Themo Smart Thermostat is conveniently controlled via a mobile app, which also allows remote temperature control. It also monitors energy consumption and electricity prices in real time. While Themo Smart Thermostat automatically optimises electricity use, you can adjust it yourself, for example by setting safety limits such as the maximum temperature. In this way, the system will always find the most cost-effective way to heat that fits within the limits.
Themo Smart Thermostat constantly learns when and how to heat, and also takes into account the ventilation details of your home and their effect on floor cooling. Local weather service information helps Themo to automatically adapt to changes in the weather.
With the help of the exchange electricity monitoring, Themo Smart Thermostat always optimises heating costs to the most favourable time. It identifies the cheapest times for heating and ensures that, for example, the hot water heater does not go without heating for long periods. This results in energy efficiency and comfort of use.
Themo Smart Thermostat also brings savings with a fixed price electricity contract. It reduces unnecessary electricity consumption and eases the environmental burden. Intelligent control optimises heating consumption, making it always cost-effective and ecological.
Examples of smart underfloor heating applications
-
Installation in both new and older buildings
Themo Smart Thermostat can be installed in both new and older buildings. For example, in houses built in the 1960s and 70s, the installation has been very neat and easy. A wifi connection is required to use the device.
-
Heating adapted to the weekly calendar
Themo Smart thermostat can be used to create a weekly calendar that adjusts the heating according to your needs. For example, you can set temperatures lower during the week and higher at weekends. You can also set the calendar according to the time of day, so that your home is warm at the right time - for example when you return from work or a trip. This optimisation prevents unnecessary heating costs and ensures a comfortable indoor temperature.
-
Summer cottage heating
With the Themo Smart Thermostat, you can heat your summer cottage remotely before you arrive, so you'll have a warm and customised cottage ready for you. This not only speeds up the transition to the holiday mood, but also improves comfort and creates a pleasant environment from the moment you arrive.
-
Heating management in rented accommodation
For short-term rentals of an apartment or cottage, you can remotely control the temperature depending on whether the space is occupied or unoccupied. This ensures that the temperature is always just right. Remote control also allows you to respond quickly to tenants' requests if they feel the property is too cold or too hot.
