Electric Heater Control Options UK | Simple & Smart Heating Controls
Choosing the right heater controls makes a big difference to comfort and efficiency. At Elsco Heating, we offer simple and smart control options to suit every home.
Simple Dial Thermostat
Our most popular control option — ideal for anyone who prefers straightforward, no‑nonsense heating management. The rotary dial is mounted neatly on the side of the heater. Just turn it to your preferred temperature and the heater does the rest. It’s simple, reliable, and perfect for everyday use.
For added convenience, pair it with a plug‑in wall timer. This lets you control exactly when the heater turns on and off, without any technical setup or programming.
A great choice if you want more flexibility and accuracy. This system includes a wireless thermostat that can be placed anywhere in the room, helping maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature.
Wireless Thermostat Control
With a small additional box connected to your router, the system links to your home Wi‑Fi. This allows you to control your heating through a smartphone app — ideal for:
- Second homes
- Changing schedules
- Adjusting the temperature without getting up
Setup is straightforward, and we provide full instructions. If you prefer, we can pre‑configure everything before delivery so it’s ready to use straight out of the box
