Control & savings

Thermostatic and smart radiator valves

On an existing radiator circuit, upgrading old valves to thermostatic — or smart — models is a quick, low-disruption investment that helps you control consumption more effectively.

Thermostatic radiator valves (TRV)

They automatically modulate hot water flow based on each room's temperature. No more overheated or underheated rooms: every radiator works at the right level.

  • Fits existing radiators with minimal disruption
  • Local room-by-room regulation
  • Up to 25% savings on your heating bill
  • Compatible with gas or oil boilers (before replacement) and air-to-water heat pumps

Smart connected TRVs

Smart valves add remote control and automation: schedules, away modes, abnormal ventilation alerts and consumption monitoring from your smartphone.

  • Control via app (iOS / Android) from anywhere
  • Time schedules and comfort / eco / away modes
  • Alerts for open windows or unusual temperature drops
  • History and tracking to optimise heating over time
  • Possible integration with voice assistants or smart home hubs (depending on brand)
  • Ideal for multi-room homes or pre-heating before you return from holiday

We specify and install reliable solutions (Danfoss, Honeywell, Netatmo, Eqiva, etc.) based on your system, number of radiators and desired level of connectivity.

Heating FAQ

When should I replace my boiler?

A boiler has an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years. If yours is old, consumes a lot, breaks down regularly or you still heat with oil, it is time to consider a replacement. Since 1 July 2022, installing oil boilers has been banned in France. Hecker & Frères Énergie (HFE) offers a personalised assessment to identify the best replacement solution (heat pump, condensing gas boiler, hybrid).

Should I choose a condensing boiler or a heat pump?

The heat pump is today the most economical and eco-friendly solution. A heat pump uses 3 to 4 times less energy than a condensing boiler. However, in some cases (poorly insulated older properties, technical constraints), a condensing gas boiler remains relevant. A hybrid boiler combining heat pump + gas boiler is also an excellent intermediate solution.

How much does underfloor heating cost?

Hydraulic underfloor heating costs between €60 and €110 incl. VAT per m² installed, excluding screed. For 100 m², expect €6,000 to €11,000 incl. VAT. Combined with a heat pump, it is the most comfortable and economical solution on the market: the heat pump runs at low temperature, maximising efficiency.

What is the difference between a TRV and a smart connected valve?

A standard thermostatic valve regulates room temperature autonomously, without an app. A smart connected valve is controlled remotely (smartphone), with scheduling, away modes and sometimes open-window detection. Smart models suit you if you want to fine-tune heating over time or control your home remotely. Hecker & Frères Énergie (HFE) will advise based on the number of radiators and how you use your home.
