What is a Programmable Room Thermostat?
A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat.
The programmer allows you to set “On” and “Off” periods to suit your own lifestyle.
The 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 and preferences.
Setting a programmable room thermostat to a higher temperature will not make the
room heat up any faster. How quickly the room heats up depends on the design & size of
the heating system.
Similarly reducing the temperature setting does not affect how quickly the room cools
down. Setting a programmable room thermostat to a lower temperature will result in the
room being controlled at a lower temperature, and saves energy.
The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest
temperature settings that you are comfortable with at the different times you have
chosen, and then leave it alone to do its job.
