The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to
find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with
and the different times you have chosen and then leave it alone to
do its job.
The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18
º
C,
and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are
comfortable with the temperatures. You wont have to adjust the
thermostat further. Any adjustment above these setting will waste
energy and cost you more money.
If your heating system is a boiler with radiators, there will usually be
only one programmable 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 dont 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.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some types have to
be adjusted in spring and Autumn at the change between
Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time.
