What Are the Benefits of Digital Thermostats?

Digital thermostats enable temperature control throughout your home. Most digital and smart thermostats allow you to control the heating from your mobile or smart device so you can switch the heating on or off remotely, as required.

Traditional room thermostats have a dial to set your preferred temperature, whilst digital room thermostats have a display screen. Wireless thermostats are often more discreet as they don’t need to be mounted to a wall and can be placed anywhere in your home.

No matter which thermostat controller you choose, the heating only turns on if the room drops below the set temperature, helping reduce heating costs. Still unsure which is the right choice for you? Check out our Thermostat Buying Guide for help and advice from the experts.

What’s the difference between a wireless thermostat and a wired thermostat?

Wireless thermostat: Connects to the boiler using a receiver and communicates wirelessly; easier installation and flexible positioning.
Wired thermostat: Hard-wired into the heating system; reliable, simple and often more affordable.

What is a digital thermostat and how is it different from a traditional dial thermostat?

A digital thermostat uses electronic temperature sensing and displays the exact room temperature. It gives more accurate control than basic dial thermostats and often includes timers, schedules and energy-saving modes.

How do thermostats help reduce heating bills?

By allowing precise temperature control, scheduling heating times and reducing unnecessary boiler cycles. Wireless and digital models often include advanced features like eco-mode, frost protection and automated setback temperatures.
