Hive Active Heating: A smart thermostat helping you manage your energy

The days of coming home to a chilly house are a thing of the past thanks to smart heating controls. Hive Active Heating (free as part of the Bord Gáis Energy bundle) lets you use your smartphone to turn your heat on and off, adjust the temperature and even programme set times so that your heating levels are adjusted to your daily and weekly routines. This means you can arrange for the heat to come on when you first wake in the morning, off when you leave the house, and on again in time for your return home.

Installation you can trust

Your Hive Active Heating will be installed by a certified Bord Gáis Energy engineer. The sleekly-designed thermostat can be mounted on a wall, or sit stylishly on a bookcase or shelf. It works with your existing boiler, and the Hive app can be downloaded in seconds to your smartphone, tablet or laptop. 

Set daily schedules

You can also use the app to arrange for the heat to rise to a set temperature, and you can even choose to heat rooms upstairs or downstairs only. Scheduling the heat to work for your family’s schedule and household set-up helps you to avoid wasting energy and money heating your entire home throughout the day. If you’ve got a hot water tank, you can control that from your phone too.

Know when you’ve left the heating on

With geolocation, your Hive thermostat knows if you’ve gone out and left the heating on. It can then send you a reminder to turn it off.
