Do you enjoy the comfort of underfloor heating, but think that because of its sluggish performance there is little room to increase the efficiency and reduce energy usage? Fortunately, this is not the case, because the tado° Smart Thermostat can optimize the performance of your underfloor heating. Our innovative control system sets new standards for heating controls and helps you to significantly reduce your heating costs.
The advantages of underfloor heating
- A professionally planned underfloor heating system is rarely more expensive than a radiator-based heating system
- Underfloor heating only needs a flow temperature of 30-40°C, unlike the 60-70°C needed for radiators
- Even distribution of heat throughout the room for better thermal comfort
- Higher thermal comfort allows up to 2° lower room temperatures with the same feeling of well-being
- No boring radiators to block the view or disturb the decor
Intelligent control with tado°
Our system’s intelligence allows it to be very flexible and therefore ideal for optimum control of any heating system. The Smart Thermostat detects how long your heating system needs to warm your home and then adjusts the control strategy accordingly. Unlike traditional thermostats, by using the Smart Thermostat you don’t have to worry about choosing the correct type of thermostat for your underfloor heating.
tado° Smart Thermostat – the intelligent choice
Unlike traditional, and even most connected thermostats, tado° is able to automatically regulate your heating as efficiently as possible. Your heating system is only switched on when someone is at home or on their way there. Your tado° also uses the local weather forecast to further reduce energy usage to a minimum.
Thanks to the tado° app, you can also set a schedule for each room for every day of the week. You’ll be able to see how this can lead to considerable reductions in your energy usage in the the monthly Energy Savings Report. We will save you energy whilst improving the comfort of your home.
Is tado° the right solution for my sluggish underfloor heating?
Yes, because tado° can save energy as it avoids excessive room temperatures by accounting for the heat provided by sunshine. Your tado° learns how your heating reacts and then accounts for both the structural characteristics of your home as well as the local weather report. All of this is used to calculate the most efficient control strategy. Furthermore, tado° doesn’t simply switch the heating off, but instead calculates the optimum temperature for your home when you are not there. It will avoid letting your home cool down too much, therefore ensuring your home is always comfortable when you get there, whilst saving you money.
Small investment, big reward
Exterior wall insulation, solar water heating, or a new boiler? These measures are cost-intensive and can take years, if not decades, to recoup the investment involved. An intelligent heating control, on the other hand, can pay for itself within a year. Considering that you can save up to 31% on your heating, the total costs are quickly offset. Traditional energy saving measures just can’t keep up with that rate of return.
Save energy. We guarantee it.
Can Smart Thermostats really save every home’s heating costs? Myths about the savings potential of underfloor heating, be it in old buildings or low-energy houses, are widespread. But we are so convinced that tado° will help you that we guarantee savings for every buyer – no ifs and buts.
