Meet Alfred. It runs your heating so you never have to.

If your internet drops, Alfred continues working as a standard thermostat while it tries to reconnect. Your heating doesn't stop. It just can't see your bookings until the internet is back. Then it picks up where it left off, on its own.

Alfred works with any heating system that uses a standard thermostat: gas boilers, oil boilers, electric heating, and heat pumps. It supports both wired and wireless installations, all in the one thermostat. If your current system has a thermostat, Alfred can replace it.

Most operators install Alfred themselves in about 15 minutes per zone. It replaces your existing thermostat, wired or wireless. We provide step-by-step instructions and video guides. If you're not comfortable with the install, we'd recommend getting a qualified professional to fit it for you.

Yes, and there's nothing to learn. If a cleaner or early guest arrives at an empty property and it's cold, they just turn it up on the thermostat like normal. Alfred treats that as a timed override: it warms for a set window, then automation quietly resumes, so nobody has to remember to switch it back. Once a guest is actually checked in, a change they make simply sticks: they keep full control. No extra interface or login needed.

Alfred reads your full booking timeline, not just the next check-in. For back-to-back bookings, it maintains comfort between guests rather than dropping to standby. It only reduces heating when there's a genuine gap between bookings.

Yes. Your first 30 days of Alfred's subscription are free, starting from your first purchase. To be straight with you: that's the subscription, not the hardware. The one-time hardware charge is taken at checkout like any other order. If Alfred isn't earning its keep by the end of the month, cancel and you've paid nothing for the software.

You have 30 days from delivery to send it back for a full refund, no reason needed, and we cover the return postage. That sits on top of your statutory 14-day right to cancel a distance purchase, which we can't and don't reduce.

Every Alfred is covered for 12 months from the day it first comes online at your property. Report the fault from your dashboard and we ship a replacement free. A cleaner or managing agent can raise it too, so nobody's waiting on you to be at a laptop.

Your heating keeps running. A failed payment pauses the automation, not the heat: the property holds its setback temperature, frost protection stays on, and the thermostat works as a normal thermostat. The moment the payment clears, automation picks up again on its own. We never hold a property's heating to ransom over a card.

No. Alfred is month-to-month. If it doesn't save you money, cancel anytime. The hardware is yours to keep. We earn your business every month.

It's a model-based estimate, not a measured field result. We take your occupancy rate, assume heating runs at comfort temperature whenever a property would otherwise sit empty, and credit Alfred with recovering most of that vacant-period heating, with frost protection still running underneath. At a typical 48% occupancy that works out to around 39% of the heating bill, but it's only an estimate: it varies with your occupancy, gap lengths between bookings, and local climate. Lower occupancy means more empty hours to eliminate, so those properties tend to save more. That's why Alfred is month-to-month: it pays for itself or you cancel.
