Heating Controls Croydon
Want more control over when your heating comes on, how warm your home feels or how your boiler responds to your heating requirements?
Gas Plumbing Solutions installs, replaces and upgrades heating controls in Croydon and surrounding areas. From straightforward timers and room thermostats to modern smart heating controls, we'll help you find a practical solution that works with your heating system and the way you use your home.
Whether an existing thermostat has stopped working, your controls are difficult to use or you're ready to upgrade to something smarter, our experienced heating engineers are here to help.
Take Better Control of Your Heating
A good heating system isn't only about the boiler. The controls tell that system when to heat your home, when to stop and what temperature you're asking it to maintain.
If your controls are old, unreliable or simply don't suit your routine, you can end up constantly adjusting the heating or heating your property when you don't actually need to.
Upgrading your heating controls can make your system much easier to manage. Depending on your existing setup, that could mean replacing an old room thermostat, installing a new timer or programmer, adding thermostatic radiator controls or moving to a smart thermostat that gives you more flexible control.
Which Heating Controls Do You Need?
Not every home needs the same controls. We can look at your existing boiler and heating system, talk through how you use your heating and help you understand the options available.
Smart Thermostats
Modern smart controls can provide more flexible scheduling and, depending on the system, allow you to manage your heating from a compatible phone or device.
Room Thermostats
A room thermostat monitors temperature and tells the heating system when heat is required. We can replace faulty or outdated controls with suitable alternatives.
Heating Timers
Set when you want your heating to operate rather than having to switch it on and off manually throughout the day.
Heating Programmers
Programmers can give you greater control over heating times and, depending on the heating system, hot water schedules too.
Thermostatic Radiator Valves
TRVs can help you adjust the heat output of individual radiators, giving you greater room-by-room control where the system allows.
Heating Control Repairs
If your thermostat, timer or other heating control isn't working properly, we can investigate the problem and advise whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
Common Heating Control Problems
Sometimes what looks like a boiler problem can actually be connected to the controls telling the heating system what to do.
If your heating isn't responding as expected, we'll look at the system properly rather than automatically assuming that you need a new boiler.
Thinking About a Smart Thermostat?
For many homeowners, the attraction of a smart thermostat isn't complicated technology. It's simply being able to manage their heating more conveniently.
Depending on the control and heating system, smart heating can offer features such as flexible schedules, remote control, temperature adjustments and more detailed control over when your home is heated.
But the right control depends on the boiler and heating system you already have. Rather than simply choosing a thermostat because you've seen it advertised, speak to us first and we can help establish what is suitable for your setup.
Manage heating times and temperatures in a way that better fits your normal routine.
Set heating schedules rather than relying on repeatedly switching the system on and off manually.
Some systems can provide greater control over different areas of the home when compatible equipment is installed.
We'll explain the controls and how they work rather than leaving you with technology you don't understand.
Not Sure Which Heating Control You Need?
You don't need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell us what your heating is doing, what controls you currently have and what you'd like to achieve. We'll help you work out the most sensible next step.
Heating Controls & New Boiler Installation
If you're already considering replacing your boiler, it's a good opportunity to think about the controls at the same time.
A boiler and its controls need to work together properly. During a new boiler survey we can look at your existing heating setup, discuss how you use your home and consider appropriate control options alongside the boiler itself.
If you're only at the research stage, you can use our online Boiler Calculator for an initial indication of cost. If you're ready to discuss the installation properly, you can arrange a FREE local boiler survey.
Upgrade the Controls, the Boiler – or Both
A heating control upgrade doesn't automatically mean you need to replace your boiler. If your boiler is working well and a compatible control can give you the functionality you want, upgrading the controls alone may be the appropriate option.
Likewise, if your boiler is older, becoming unreliable or you are already planning a replacement, we can look at the whole heating setup rather than treating each component in isolation.
Our aim is to recommend what makes sense for your property and heating requirements rather than adding work that isn't needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace my existing heating thermostat?
Yes. If your existing room thermostat or heating control is faulty or outdated, we can assess your current setup and advise on an appropriate compatible replacement.
Can I add a smart thermostat to my existing boiler?
It depends on the boiler, existing controls and the smart control you want to use. We can check your heating system and advise which options are suitable rather than assuming every control will work with every boiler.
Do I need a new boiler to have smart heating controls?
Not necessarily. Many heating control upgrades can be made without replacing the boiler, provided the proposed controls are suitable for the existing heating system.
What is the difference between a timer and a thermostat?
A timer or programmer determines when the heating operates, while a thermostat responds to temperature. Many modern systems combine scheduling and temperature control in a more convenient interface.
Can heating controls help me avoid heating an empty home?
Correctly configured timers, programmers and smart controls can help you schedule heating around when it is actually required, rather than leaving the system operating unnecessarily.
Which areas do you cover for heating controls?
We work throughout Croydon, South Croydon, Sanderstead, Purley, Kenley, Coulsdon, Caterham, Bromley, Epsom, Sutton, Wallington and surrounding South London areas.
