What is a 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.
