If you have a boiler connected to your heating system, chances are that you’ll need to connect it to a thermostat. Why? Because while most boilers can regulate the temperature of your home on their own, their sensors are calibrated to the average room temperature. In order to maintain its setpoint, it will turn on and off in cycles.
In this post, we’ll walk through how to connect a smart thermostat to a boiler. A smart thermostat is an increasingly popular addition to the smart home. They can save you money by reducing your heating and cooling bills and they’re often easier to use than the old-fashioned thermostats that most of us grew up with.
