- How many radiator knobs do you need?
Do you need a starter pack?
Choose a Tado thermostat based on the heating type in your house. There are packs with just a room thermostat, packs with separate thermostat knobs, and packs with both. So you can choose whatever suits your situation. A Tado thermostat works with different types of heating. This means that you can choose a solution that's compatible with your central heating boiler, hybrid heat pump, or district heating. In other words, you can manage the temperature in a way that's suitable for your house
How do you choose the right Tado thermostat for your house?
You can choose between a wired and a wireless Tado thermostat. First, determine how you want to install the thermostat. A wired thermostat needs to be installed directly to the wiring of your previous thermostat. A wireless thermostat has an adapter you need to connect to the wiring near your central heating boiler. You can place the thermostat itself wherever you want. Don't have a wired room thermostat on the wall in your house? Choose a wireless thermostat. Note: you still need to connect wiring, because you have to connect the adapter to the wiring near your boiler.
How many radiator knobs do you need?
With smart radiator knobs, you can manage the temperature per room. That way, you only turn on the heating where it's needed. Turn it on in the living room during the day, for example. The more of these knobs you have, the less energy you waste. That's because the heating won't be on in empty rooms unnecessarily. In addition, other radiators don't have to work as hard to keep your house warm. This saves energy and makes your house more comfortable to be in. Make sure to check whether your radiators are suitable for smart radiator knobs beforehand.
