Why control upgrades are worth considering
Straight replacement or upgrade
We help you judge whether a failed control needs replacing or improving.
Compatibility checked first
Boiler and wiring arrangements are reviewed before anything is fitted.
Schedules set with you
We configure the controls and explain everyday use before we leave.
Better control can change the whole feel of the system
If your heating is hard to schedule, awkward to adjust or still relying on a control setup from another era, changing the controls can make daily life much easier. In Knighton, we install heating controls ranging from basic programmers and room thermostats to thermostatic radiator valves and app-connected smart thermostats. Choose Core Home Energy Ltd when you want the practical differences explained clearly, so you can decide between a straight replacement and a smarter upgrade.


Chosen to suit the boiler and the way you live
Before selecting a control, we check compatibility with the boiler and the existing wiring or control arrangement. We then install, connect and configure the new setup, and show you how to use it properly, including useful schedules rather than a brisk wave at the manual. With Core Home Energy Ltd, the aim is not extra gadgetry for its own sake, but heating that is easier to manage and simpler to understand.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between basic and smart heating controls?
Basic controls usually handle simple scheduling and temperature settings, while smart thermostats can add app control, clearer scheduling and better day-to-day visibility. We explain the practical difference in plain English, so you can decide what is actually useful for your home.
Can you replace a failed thermostat with a smarter option?
Yes, if the boiler and control arrangement are suitable. We assess the existing setup first, then explain whether a like-for-like replacement or a move to smarter controls makes more sense for the property and the way you heat it.
Will you show me how to use the new controls?
Yes. After installation and setup, we talk you through the controls and help you set practical schedules. That way you are not left poking buttons at random later and wondering why the heating has developed its own opinions.
