Havenwise a smarter way to control your heat pump
This week we had a conversation with Henri Casteleyn of "Havenwise" to investigate on how their product can potentially save money on their energy bills for new and old customers with air source heat pumps with built in Wi-fi*
How? you may ask can this product do that. Havenwise works on an app based platform and controls your heating and hot water schedules and can potentially cut your energy bills by 40%**. Havenwise does this by using their built in AI which automatically optimises your heat pump to ensure comfort at the lowest possible cost. By taking in your property's characteristics, electricity tariff and heat pump efficiency to save you money.

* Havenwise is currently available for the following models: Samsung, Vaillant, Mitsubishi, Daikin - Other models coming soon
** Average saving across Havenwise users. The savings are calculated comparing the heat produced with the Havenwise-optimised heat pump versus what it would cost with a typical gas boiler. Havenwise users represent a mix of tariffs, house characteristics, user behaviour, heat pump brands, and installers.
