3 Introduction
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 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
and size of the floor 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.
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.
You are able to temporarily adjust the heating program
by overriding or using the temperature hold feature.
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.
