How may AI be used to improve home heating?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is forecast to change how we interact with the world in many areas, and may even be integrated into future home heating systems.

This is already happening with smart thermostats that learn the habits of the household and receive local weather information. This data is used to make proactive decisions about when to turn on the heating and how warm to set the temperature. AI can adjust to when household members come home and heat rooms ready for their arrival.

Many modern cars use AI to diagnose and report faults to the driver, and this technology could be incorporated into boilers. In the future, a boiler could send alerts to the owner’s smartphone about a boiler fault. For serious issues, AI systems could contact a company offering boiler repair in Chester directly that will send one of their gas engineers to the home to repair the boiler.

AI-managed gadgets will increasingly communicate with each other. A smartwatch that monitors sleep patterns and body temperature may communicate with AI heating to adjust the room temperature to boost better sleep, then gradually increase the heat as the sleeper wakes up.

Smart heating systems are already able to respond to voice commands via devices such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri and Google Assistant. The AI in these systems is expected to understand more complex instructions in the future.

The future of heating may, like many other developing technologies, be AI-based, efficient and tailored to the exact requirements of individual households.
