What are the energy-saving functions of Tado thermostats?
With a Tado thermostat, you can save money by not heating your house unnecessarily. For example, make sure only the rooms you're in are heated up. In this article, we'll explain how a Tado thermostat can ensure a lower energy bill.
Adjust the temperature per room
You can set up heating zones via the Tado app. You can do this using smart radiator knobs. That way, you can adjust the temperature per room at any time of the day. Do you work from home? Turn up the heating in your home office and lower the temperature in the rest of your house. Would you rather adjust the temperature per time instead of per room? Choose smart schedules. You can also do this in the app.
Give the thermostat access to your location
The Tado thermostat knows whether or not your home thanks to geofencing. To do this, you give your thermostat access to your location. It can then see exactly when you're almost home or leaving. It adjusts the temperature accordingly. That way, the heating never stays on accidentally when you're not home.
Consume less when the sun is shining
The sun's warmth is free. That's why Tado keeps an eye on the weather report. When the first spring sun breaks through, the thermostat lowers the temperature of your radiators. That way, your home will stay cool for longer and you can save on energy costs.
Turn on open window detection
Tado notifies you when a window is open. The thermostat knows this because of a quick drop in temperature. That way, you know when you can turn the heater or air conditioner off. With an Auto Assist subscription, Tado can turn off your heater or air conditioner automatically. After a free 30-day trial period, this subscription costs € 3.99 per month or € 29.99 per year.
Save within 12 months
If you're not satisfied within a year, you'll get money back from Tado. You'll receive a monthly overview of the amount of money you've saved. For example, you can see how long you weren't home for, how long the heating was off because the sun was shining, and how many open windows Tado noticed.
