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 1°C 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 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 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.
You are able to temporarily adjust the heating program by overriding or using the
temperature hold feature. These features are explained further on pages 14 and 15 of
this manual.
Programmable 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 also prevent the thermostat from working
properly.
