What is a programmable room thermostat?

... an explanation for householders

A room thermostat simply switches the heating system on and off as

necessary. It works by sensing the air temperature, 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 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 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 by one degree

each day until you are comfortable with the temperature. You won't

have to adjust the thermostat further. Any adjustment above this

setting will waste energy and cost yo u 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 you can have

different temperatures in individual rooms by installing thermostatic

radiator valves (TRVs) on individual radiators. If you don't have TRVs,

you should choose a temperature that is reasonable for the whole

house. If you do have TRVs, you can choose a slightly higher setting to

make sure that even the coldest room is comfortable, then prevent any

overheating in other rooms by adjusting the TRVs.

Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so

they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby

electric fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may prevent the thermostat

from working properly.
