New research from Resideo, the global developer and manufacturer of Honeywell Home heating controls, shows UK homeowners see heating controls as a critical way to tackle energy cost concerns – opening up opportunities for installers to add value and support their customers.
The survey investigating the energy attitudes of 1,000 homeowners and 100 installers in the UK revealed that almost a third (32%) of consumers said they remain ‘very concerned’ about energy costs for the coming winter and a third (33%) are also ‘less likely’ or ‘much less likely’ to switch heating on because of energy cost worries.
Over half (53%) of homeowners feel like they need more information or are unconfident about setting their heating controls correctly to get the best out of their system.
92% of installers have had more customer questions about how to get the best out of their heating controls.
Martin Wilson, Regional Director – North EMEA at Resideo commented: “It is clear is that energy bills and how to reduce them as much as possible remains front of mind with many UK homeowners, and it’s driving some fundamental behavioural change such as being more environmentally aware. Installers have a key role to play in providing the solutions to the challenges their customers are facing. They are on the heating control front line and can proactively provide guidance, recommending the most suitable heating controls and advising on how to optimise their energy management.”
