Tado Smart Thermostats And Radiator Valves: Save Money On Heating Bills (Full Install Guide)

In today's video I'm looking at the Tado (www.tado.com/gb-en) Smart Heating system, explaining how it works, and then performing a full upgrade on my existing heating system. Tado can provide you with 'per room' heating. So if you're not in a room of your house, you can switch off (or lower) the heating all from your phone or via your smart assistant.

This is a long, and comprehensive video, showing exactly how the system is installed and set up. If you want to know a specific area of the install process then use the chapters to skip to the relevant section.

My Heating System consists of the following ( with links to purchase it from Amazon.co.uk )

tado Wired Smart Thermostat Starter Kit (£199 - it's reduced to £99 at the mo!) - https://amzn.to/3BqFa49
tado Wired Thermostat Add On (£129 - it's £89 at the mo!) - https://amzn.to/33nNLYO
tado Smart Radiator Thermostat - Pack of 4 (£216) - https://amzn.to/3HTgeVf

You can get Wireless Thermostats ( https://amzn.to/3rQ1vFe ) and if you have a traditional hot water tank you can get a starter kit with a hot water controller too ( https://amzn.to/3sHdB2M )

Tado is designed to be installed by the average home owner, and provides bespoke instructions for your heating system after asking you a few questions about your set up. It's a very cool set up, and I was able to install it fully myself with very little knowledge of how heating systems work.

Thanks to Tado for supplying some of the products shown in this video!
