As we look to redesign our Thermostat accounts and Apps, we would like to involve you, our customers, in the important design decisions.

If you have the time, and would like to be an active member of our development group then please join in at https://www.facebook.com/groups/2688775001414482

This is for you to share ideas, discuss with other customers and have some real input into the final designs.

You will have the opportunity to see and experience the new developments before anyone else.

We look forward to seeing you there.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new website, take a look at  https://www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/ and see the changes for yourself. Our new website has been designed to be faster, more visually appealing and mobile friendly. (Updates to our Thermostat Account and mobile apps will follow)

Our new site is fully responsive, which means that it will look great on any device and any orientation.

We have added a savings calculator, to give you an estimation of how much you could save by using our heating systems. There is also a comparison chart, so you can see how we compare against our competitors.

You can still find the extensive list of help on our website including Inspire College where we teach you how to use your Thermostat. There is also our detailed fault finding guide that can help you identify all kinds of faults with your heating system.

We have added an extra way to find out more about our Thermostats. You can now book a free 30 minute consultation where we can discuss your heating requirements and options. These can be via Zoom or a phone call.

Please take a look at our new site at https://www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/ and let us know what you think.

If you are one of our long-term customers and have recently purchased an Ignite Wired Thermostat, you may well have noticed our new packaging boxes.

Not only does this give the units a far more professional look and feel but it has also sped up our boxing process by halving the number of cardboard parts. This has resulted in reducing the cardboard used by over 40%! (and saved us considerable space in our store room)

How did we achieve this?

We worked with our packaging provider to create a novel solution where one internal piece of card folds in many places to securely hold the contents. The external sleave locks these folds in place, providing a strong rigid box.

Cardboard Engineering at its finest!

The internal cardboard starts with a flat piece of card. This piece has minimal wasted cardboard around the flap.

The cardboard is then folded to create this shape

Then we add the Thermostat, Screws and Manuals

Before sliding this into our outer carton

Providing a fully assembled box, using less packaging, that can also be fully recycled

Wireless Thermostat

But what about our Wireless version? This is due a similar redesign, of which we will update you in the next few months.

Adding Smart Heating Controls to your home will help you manage your heat more effectively, save you money and make your home more energy efficient.

If you’re a homeowner or residential landlord you can now apply for a £5000 Green Homes Grant voucher (up to £10,000 for low income households) towards the cost of installing energy efficient improvements to your home including  heating controls such as our Ignite Smart Thermostats.

You can apply directly for the grant, but it needs to be performed by an accredited installer. 

Primary measures
The voucher must be used to install at least 1 primary measure. This can be an insulation measure and/or a low carbon heating measure.

Insulation measures covered by the voucher

• solid wall insulation (internal or external)
• cavity wall insulation
• under-floor insulation (solid floor, suspended floor)
• loft insulation
• flat roof insulation
• pitched roof insulation
• room in roof insulation
• insulating a park home

Low carbon heating measures covered by the voucher:

• air source heat pump
• ground source heat pump
• solar thermal (liquid filled flat plate or evacuated tube collector)
• biomass boiler
• hybrid heat pump

Secondary measures

If you install at least 1 primary measure, your voucher can then be used to help cover the cost of  a secondary measure which includes heating controls.

An Inspire Home Automation Ignite Thermostat has geofencing enabled. This turns down your heating when your home is empty but then starts turning up the heat when you’re coming home. Our fully customisable system enables you to create 4 different programs for the time of year and set up schedules to suit, daily, weekdays/weekends or a different temperature setting for each day of the week.
