Do you live in a rural location, where you don’t have access to a mains gas supply? If so, here’s some good news - living off-grid doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the advantages of modern heating gadgets! 

The Nest Learning Thermostat is designed to make heating your home easier and more convenient, whilst reducing your heating bills. Here’s some more information about how it works.

What is a Nest Learning Thermostat?

The Nest Thermostat uses intuitive technology to ‘learn’ what temperature you like. Based on this knowledge, it then creates a personalised schedule for your home.
It’s also simple to use. All you need to do is for the first few days, ‘teach’ it the temperatures you prefer. Within a week, it’ll start programming them independently.

The Benefits?

The Nest thermostat not only ensures that you remain comfortable in your home; it also aims to reduce energy consumption – which means lower energy bills. Here are a few other key benefits of using a Nest Learning Thermostat:

  • Remote control. It’s fully remote controllable, and you can even adjust settings via your smartphone or tablet.
  • Auto-functions. The Nest Thermostat recognises when you’re away, and alters the temperature accordingly. It also ‘learns’ the temperatures you like, and creates a customised heating programme based on your preferences.
  • More control. In addition to reducing energy costs, your thermostat keeps track of your heating history – showing when you’re using the most heat, and why.

Even Greater Efficiency

Calor’s range of LPG boilers mean even greater efficiency when you’re living off-grid. You can choose from top-brand boiler systems such as Worcester, Bosch and Glow-Worm; which have been designed to keep heating costs to a minimum.

LPG boilers are also cheaper to purchase than a new oil boiler, which is another major advantage!

Installation

When you’re living off-grid, you’re likely to be looking for a heating system that’s easy to install and simple to top up.

It’s a common misconception that switching from oil to LPG is a complicated process. Thankfully, this isn’t the case at all. Calor – one of the cheapest lpg suppliers - offer a turnkey installation solution; overseeing all aspects of the installation process – from initial assessment of your property to final placement of the tank. We also offer a free above-ground tank as part of the service, plus free gas connection.

Those living off-grid worry that topping up their supplies might be tricky. Calor’s automatic top-up makes this process completely hassle-free. When your tank is nearly empty, it triggers an alert direct to Calor HQ. After receiving this alert, they will get in touch to arrange a convenient time to replenish your supplies. This means you don’t need to monitor your tank – Calor handle it all for you.
