All underfloor heating systems require the use of dedicated heat controls to provide the correct level of warmth for your home, at the right time for you. In this guide, we’ll explore the many benefits of managing your home’s heating needs using the Element WiFi Thermostat, a Smart heating controller that can improve your system’s energy efficiency and help save you money on your bills. You’ll learn more about: 

  • Which heating systems the Element is compatible with 
  • The ways in which Warmup’s Smart UFH controls can save you money 
  • How to operate the Element WiFi Thermostat 
  • How to connect your controller with other Smart technology in your home 
  • The technical support offered for heating controls 

Can I use the Element WiFi Thermostat with my heating system? 

Combining innovative technology with a contemporary design, the Element WiFi Thermostat is the perfect all-rounder to control any of Warmup’s underfloor heating systems. As a Smart heating controller, the Element offers automatic heat functionality, remote access and ensures your heating system will always perform at its most efficient.  

The Element is also compatible with central heating systems. You can connect the controller to combi and system boilers with switch live, 230V AC input. If you require a lower voltage, or are using a volt-free system, a contactor must be used. Looking for more information on Warmup’s range of thermostats?

Is the Element controller easy to use? 

Featuring touch buttons and a simple display for precision management of your home’s heating, the Element WiFi Thermostat offers true ease of use. You can operate the controller directly by simply scrolling and tapping its display to change the temperature or use it remotely through Warmup’s MyHeating app or the MyWarmup online portal. Its icon-based interface makes it suitable for users who speak any language. 

The Element is available in two colourways and its sleek, unobtrusive design will suit any home décor. The Rose Gold Element will blend perfectly with pale walls and its polished metallic accents adds a touch of luxury. The Dark Chrome Element offers a bolder look for more contemporary homes.  

Worried about setting up a Smart heating controller? Don’t be – the Element provides an intuitive set up process. Simply scan the QR code on the thermostat using the MyHeating app and it will automatically connect to your WiFi network.

Will the Element improve my home’s energy performance? 

Running at lower temperatures whilst still achieving an ideal level of warmth in a room, underfloor heating is often cheaper to run, reduces energy consumption and promotes greater heat dispersion than traditional heating options. Using a Smart controller such as the Element thermostat with your UFH system maximises on these energy and cost-savings. 

The Element WiFi Thermostat facilitates ‘zoned heating’ – allowing you to control different areas of your heating system in isolation. This dramatically improves the efficiency of your heating, reducing energy wastage. It also features SmartGeo technology which learns your routines: offering radiant warmth at the right temperature, at the right time, automatically, with no need to set up a complicated heating programme. And with energy-monitoring functionality and the ability to be controlled remotely, using the Element with Warmup’s ‘MyHeating’ and ‘AutoSwitch’ Smartphone apps can reduce energy usage in your home by 25% and help save you save over £400 on your annual energy bills.

Can I integrate the thermostat within my Smart home’s ecosystem? 

Alongside its Smartphone compatibility, you can connect the Element WiFi Thermostat to a Smart speaker in your home – thereby allowing you to control your home’s heating through voice activation. The Element is compatible with speakers that use Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant through the use of Warmup’s Amazon Skill. It can also be used with Smart speakers that utilise Google Assistant software and Microsoft’s Cortana through the IFTTT platform, which can create connections and links between all your Smart home devices.
