Has anybody got experience of both systems? I just wonder which now is better. I have no plans to change but I calculate it would cost me £631 in total if I installed it myself (straight forward) and it seems another £70 if I paid to have it done. In addition there is the cost of the relay needed for the hot water system. I don’t have a combi boiler and not likely to get one. If my maths is right it works out cheaper to install than Evohome but it seems Evohome is more advanced in what it does. It learns and adjusts which leads to greater economy. Worth the extra? Don’t know.
I installed Evohome 6 years ago and it works fine. No problems. But I have to say if I come to replace my old boiler of 23 years and existing radiators then I would look again at whether to continue with Evohome. I may still do for it will work fine with a replacement boiler and system tank. However, Hive seems to have a better looking app and system, Evohome just not having updated for many years, if ever. Hive is promoted much more than Evohome. In fact I have not seen Evohome promoted at all other than when I came across it 6 years ago looking at heating controls.
Perhaps we have some central heating installers in this forum who have installed and have knowledge of both systems who can comment?
