Guardian reporter says AI-controlled Tado heating cut gas use 18% over two years
Overview
Samuel Gibbs says his household's AI-controlled Tado heating used 11,735.7 kWh of energy over 213 days from November to May, 2,581 kWh less than his manual control over the same period.
He says the home was also more comfortable, and that outside temperatures were relatively similar and hot water use was adjusted for. The 18% figure is his own calculation from a single household's comparison.
The Tado X system with AI features costs about £930 plus about £80 for boiler wiring, plus a £3.99 monthly or £29.99 yearly subscription.
