Hive controls
Upgrade how you control your heating
Hive can replace or work alongside existing heating controls on many domestic systems, giving you app-based control as well as a room thermostat. The exact Hive setup depends on the boiler, existing controls and whether the property has heating only or separate heating and hot-water control.
Heating & hot water systems
For suitable systems with a hot-water cylinder, Hive Heating & Hot Water can provide separate control of space heating and stored hot water.
Existing controls
The current programmer, thermostat and wiring arrangement are checked so the appropriate setup can be confirmed before installation.
What to expect
Hive installation and setup
Compatibility check
The boiler and existing control arrangement are reviewed before the job is confirmed.
Receiver & thermostat
The required Hive receiver and thermostat are installed and configured for the heating system.
System test
Heating and, where applicable, hot-water operation are tested after installation to confirm the controls are switching the system correctly.
Hub and app
Where the Hive package includes a hub and app connection, setup can be completed with the customer using their own Hive account and home internet connection.
Before booking: send the boiler make/model and a clear photograph of the existing programmer/thermostat if possible. This helps confirm the likely Hive setup before the visit.

Not sure whether Hive is the right option?
Prime can also help with conventional thermostats, programmers and heating controls. If the issue is an existing control fault rather than an upgrade, describe the symptoms in the enquiry.
Frequently asked questions
Hive installation questions
Can Hive be fitted to a combi boiler?
Hive is compatible with many domestic combi boiler systems. The boiler and existing controls should be checked before the installation is confirmed.
Can Hive control heating and hot water?
On suitable systems with stored hot water, a Hive Heating & Hot Water setup can provide separate control of heating and hot water.
Do I need internet for Hive?
The heating can still be controlled locally at the thermostat/receiver depending on the setup, but app-based remote features require the appropriate Hive hub/account and an internet connection.
What should I send before booking?
Send the boiler make and model plus photographs of the existing programmer, thermostat and nearby wiring/control equipment where possible.
Want Hive fitted to your heating system?
Send your boiler details and photos of the existing controls and Prime can confirm the likely setup and quote.
