Your booking diary already knows which rooms are empty tonight. We make your heating read it.
Sold rooms are warm before the guest arrives. Empty rooms are set back the moment they're empty. A ceiling on every valve, an alert when a guest fiddles with one, and a morning digest instead of cold-room complaints at reception. Live in UK hotels for two winters, installed by us.
Every night, your heating warms rooms nobody slept in.
Every independent hotel runs the same waste: the heating timer warms twenty rooms when eleven are sold. Guests can't be trusted with the valves, night staff won't tour the corridors turning them, and the boiler doesn't know Tuesday is quiet. Meanwhile the one thing in the building that does know which rooms are sold — your PMS — has never been asked.
Your Smart Hotel asks it. Room by room, every day, automatically.
Set up once. Then the heating follows the diary.
We connect to your PMS
Guestline is integrated today; others on request. We read only which rooms are sold and when guests arrive and leave — never guest names or payment details.
Sold rooms warm up ahead of check-in
Each room comes up to its comfort temperature before the guest is due, adjusting the lead time to the weather so it's warm on arrival, not warm all afternoon.
Empty rooms set back
The moment a room is unsold or checked out, it drops to a setback temperature. Not off — never cold enough to risk pipes or damp — just not heated for nobody.
You get the exceptions, not the noise
A morning digest lists anything that needs a hand: a valve a guest has removed, a low battery, a room not reaching temperature. Reception sees it before the guest does.
Guests can still turn a room up or down within a sensible ceiling. Housekeeping changes nothing about how they work. And it all runs on a small box in the building, so a dropped internet connection doesn't stop the heating.
The lessons are already engineered in.
One system, three hotel sizes.
| Your hotel | What we fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Guest house or small inn up to about 10 rooms | Smart radiator valves with on-valve sensing and a single sub-GHz hub | One hub covers the whole building. The simplest, lowest-cost install; no mesh at all. |
| The mid-sized hotel roughly 15–40 rooms | Radiator valves plus a mains-powered wall thermostat in every room — the 16A version switches electric panel heaters directly | Proven live for two seasons. Real room sensing, a control the guest can see and touch, and radio that stays solid across the building. |
| Larger houses and refurbishments 40+ rooms | Per-wing radio, wired actuators where the plant allows, and batteryless self-powered valves as the premium option | At this scale battery rounds and radio planning dominate the design, so we plan it wing by wing. |
Gas, oil, LPG or electric — the control is the same; only the actuators change. Towel rails, drying rooms and zone valves are switched too, where you want them.
Twenty to thirty-five percent of your room heating.
Against a 20-room hotel's typical £10–15k annual gas bill, heating sold rooms only recovers £1,500–3,500 a year — and rising energy prices shorten the payback every year without us touching the price. Emptier hotels save more; the calculator scales it to your occupancy.
Every figure we quote is deliberately conservative. Your first winter's before-and-after bill is the real proof, and we'll show it to you on your dashboard.
Measured, not modelled: the 12-bedroom King's Head in Middlesbrough cut bedroom radiator run-time by 30% across two winters. Read the case study.

Nothing up front, or own it outright. Your call.
Pay nothing up front at £5.95 a room a month, or buy the kit outright and pay a much lower monthly support fee. Same equipment, same install by our own engineers, same monitoring and updates either way. No shared-savings gimmicks — the saving is yours.

Running Mews, RoomMaster or something else? Tell us which — most systems expose the room status we need, and we'll say honestly whether yours does. With no PMS at all, the system still runs on a simple occupancy calendar.
What hoteliers ask first.
How disruptive is the install?
A day or two for a 20-room house, done room by room so nothing comes out of service. Fitting a smart valve takes minutes and needs no plumbing; the wall thermostats and any switching are done by our own engineers. We commission it against your PMS before we leave.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The heating keeps running. The control lives on a small box in your building; the cloud is for your dashboard, the digest and remote support. When the connection returns, everything catches up.
Guests turn the radiators up to full. Then what?
They can turn a room up or down within a ceiling you set — no more 30°C rooms with the window open. If someone removes a valve altogether, it shows up in the next morning's digest with the room number.
Our rooms are on electric panel heaters.
Then the mains wall thermostat is the control: the 16A version switches the heater directly, and the same booking-driven logic applies. Gas, oil, LPG and electric all work — only the actuators differ.
Do we keep the equipment on the subscription?
It stays ours for the 36 months and becomes yours at the end of the term. Buy outright and it's yours from day one. Either way we install, commission and support it.
Who actually does the work?
Centurion Computers — the people who built the product, based in Hexham, Northumberland. You contract with us and we do the install; there are no subcontractors holding your money or your data.
