Why Choose OR Electrics?
Electricity isn't something to take a gamble on. Whether you are upgrading an older Victorian property or need a modern certificate for a rental, we handle this service with strict adherence to BS 7671 regulations. We treat your home as if it were our own, ensuring safety without the jargon.
We all know how biting the winters can get here in Leeds, especially if you're living in one of our classic stone terraces or a back-to-back that struggles to hold the heat. Smart home heating controls like Nest, Hive, or Honeywell Tado aren't just fancy gadgets; they are genuine money-savers that give you total control over your boiler from your phone. As a qualified Electrician, I've seen too many people try to wire these receivers in themselves, only to inadvertently bypass safety interlocks or leave live cables exposed. At OR Electrics, I install these systems properly. This involves safely isolating the supply, wiring the receiver directly into your boiler or wiring centre in compliance with BS 7671 regulations, and ensuring the earth continuity is spot on. I'll replace those tired old analogue dials with a sleek, efficient system that learns your schedule, helping you cut energy bills without sacrificing comfort. I treat your home with respect, popping boot covers on before I step through the door and leaving your walls spotless.

Can I install a smart thermostat myself?
While some manufacturers market them as DIY, it involves working with 230V mains electricity often near water pipes and gas lines. A qualified Electrician ensures the 'switched live' and internal wiring are configured correctly so you don't damage the boiler PCB or risk a shock.
Will a smart thermostat work with my old boiler?
In most cases, yes. Whether you have a Combi, System, or Heat-only boiler, there is usually a compatible solution. I can assess your specific system in Leeds to recommend the best control unit for your setup.
Do I need a neutral wire at the light switch or thermostat location?
Many smart systems require a permanent live and neutral supply to power the display, which older mechanical thermostats often lack. If the wiring isn't there, I can safely modify the circuit or install a wireless kit to bridge the gap without chasing out your walls.
Which smart heating brand do you recommend?
I frequently install Hive, Google Nest, and Honeywell. The best choice depends on your specific home in Leeds and your budget. I'm happy to give honest, impartial advice on which system is the most reliable for your needs.
