This article will walk you through how the smart heating feature works and list common questions that you may receive from end users.
What is smart heating?
An optimization service for heating and cooling systems that automatically minimizes energy costs for customers with flexible tariffs.
Which heating systems are supported?
- Heat pumps (air-water, ground, exhaust air, air-air)
- Electric radiators
- Thermostats
- Electric boilers
How does it work?
- Central heating (water circuits): We adjust the heating curve to shift supply water temperature. When prices are low, water is preheated at lower cost.
- Systems without water circuits: We adjust indoor temperature setpoints, raising them when prices are low and lowering them when high.
Does it affect comfort?
- Water circuits: There is no noticeable impact of our control . Indoor temperature remains stable as the thermostats regulate the flow.
- Setpoint control: Some very small, temporary deviations - but the average indoor temperature stays at the user’s preferred level.
How much can I save?
There are many factors that affect the savings but typically 10–30%, depending on system type, building, and tariff conditions.
Why don’t I see energy consumption or savings for my device?
HVAC manufacturers rarely provide the power or energy data needed to calculate cost and savings. We will of course implement similar stats and graphs as soon as we can. Just know that even if the statistics are not showing, we are still optimizing!
Can I set different temperatures for each room?
Yes! If multiple thermostats are installed, you can set comfort levels and enable optimization individually per room.
