Smart Control

Smart Control takes the hassle out of managing hot water by learning your household’s routines. Instead of constantly heating your water cylinder throughout the day, it predicts when hot water will actually be needed, like morning showers, evening washing up, or weekend routines based on historic patterns, and ensures it’s ready right on time.

Smart Control will help to...

Reduce your energy bills

Cuts unnecessary energy use, saving money on bills

Run quietly in the background

Enjoy comfort and lower costs without having to think about it

Minimise standby heat losses

Improve the efficiency and reduce wasted energy with your hot water

Learn your household’s hot water usage patterns

Ensure hot water is always ready when you need it

By scaling back hot water production during quieter periods, Smart Control significantly reduces standby energy losses. This means you’re not paying to keep water hot when nobody’s using it, helping to cut running costs without compromising comfort. Families, couples, and even holiday homeowners can all benefit from a system that adapts to their lifestyle, whether demand is regular or more occasional.

How does Smart Control work?

Hot water usage without Smart Control

Hot water usage without Smart Control

Typically, with a hot water cylinder, you will set up a schedule and leave the heating system to heat up your hot water according to your schedule.

That's great if you stick to the same schedule every day, but the reality for most people is schedules change and the time you do things at is not always consistent. In the case of hot water, this means wasting energy unnecessarily by heating up water when it is not required.

With Smart Control, the heat pump will monitor how often you are actually using your hot water, and make changes accordingly.

Your heat pump will learn, for example, that if you schedule your hot water to come on at 19:00, but don't actually shower until 20:00, that it doesn't need to waste energy keeping water warm for an extra hour. As a result, it will tweak your settings, saving you energy and money.

For homeowners, Smart Control offers the perfect blend of comfort, savings, and peace of mind. With hot water always available when needed, and energy use reduced when it’s not, your home runs more efficiently, leaving you with lower bills and one less thing to worry about. With a wide range of applications, Smart Control takes away any stress of worrying about hot water.

Holiday homes or irregularly used properties
