What is a Room Thermostat?

...An explanation for householders

A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and oﬀ

based on room temperature. It works by sensing the air tempera-

ture, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls

below the thermostat setting and switching it oﬀ once this set temperature has

been reached.

Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any

faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating

system, for example, the size of the boiler and radiators. Neither does the setting

aﬀect how quickly the room cools down. Turning a room thermostat to a lower

setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves

energy. The heating system will not work if a time switch or programmer has

switched it oﬀ. The house insulation quality is a key factor in heating control.

The way to set and use your room thermostat is to ﬁnd the lowest temperature

setting that you are comfortable with, and then leave it alone to do its job. The

best way to do this is to set the room thermostat to a low temperature—say 18° C

and then turn it up until you are comfortable with the temperature (20°C is the

usual preferred set point). You won't have to adjust the thermostat f

Any

urther.

adjustment above this setting will waste energy and cost you more money.

If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be only one

room thermostat to control the whole house (but building regulations Part L

require houses above a certain size to have more than 1 heating zone).
