Works With Your Existing Boiler

Hive wires into the boiler you already have, so there is no need to replace it. That includes Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, Viessmann, Glow-worm and Potterton.

Combi Boilers

The receiver replaces your existing programmer or wall thermostat and drives heating on the same circuit

System & Heat-Only

Heating and hot water are both controlled, including S plan and Y plan wiring with a cylinder

Older Wiring

We check the wiring centre and backplate at the free survey and tell you before you buy if anything needs changing

Your Thermostat Pays for Itself

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work with my boiler?
In most cases, yes — Hive thermostats work with combi, system and heat-only boilers. Rather than guess, our engineer confirms compatibility with your specific boiler and wiring during the free survey, before you commit to anything.
Do I need WiFi?
Yes, a stable WiFi connection is required for your smart thermostat to connect to the Hive app and enable remote control features.
Can I install it myself?
Self-install kits are available, but we strongly recommend professional installation. Incorrect wiring can damage your boiler or create safety hazards. Professional installation also includes full warranty coverage.
What about my existing thermostat?
We remove your old thermostat and recycle it responsibly as part of the installation service. No additional cost.
How much does Hive installation cost in London?
The Hive Thermostat is from £179 and the Hive Thermostat Mini from £149, both including installation. Hive Radiator Valves are from £45 per valve plus fitting. The survey is free, and we confirm the final price for your property before you commit to anything.
How long does the installation take?
Most Hive installations are finished in under two hours in a single visit. That covers removing your old thermostat, wiring in the receiver, pairing the hub and setting the system up on your phone before we leave.
Does the wiring need to be certified?
Swapping heating controls on an existing circuit is not normally notifiable work under Part P in England, which applies mainly to new circuits, consumer unit work and special locations such as bathrooms. The wiring still has to meet BS 7671 and be carried out by someone competent, which is why our Gas Safe registered engineers do it rather than leaving it to a self-install kit.
Is Hive+ required?
No, Hive+ is completely optional. Your smart thermostat works perfectly without it. Hive+ adds premium features like leak detection and extended warranties for £3.99/month.
