What is a programmable room thermostat?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and
a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set “On” and
“Off” periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat
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.
So, a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what
times you want the heating to be on, and what temperature it
should reach while it is on. It will allow you to select different
temperatures in your home at different times of the day (and
days of the week) to meet your particular needs.
Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting
will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the
room heat up depends on the design of the heating system,
the size of the boilers and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools
