What is a programmer?
... an explanation for householders
Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time
periods. Some models switch the central heating and
domestic hot water on and off at the same time, while
others allow the domestic hot water and heating to
come on and go off at different times.
Set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your own
lifestyle. On some programmers you must also set
whether you want the heating and hot water to run
continuously, run under the chosen ‘On’ and ‘Off’
heating periods, or be permanently off.
The time on the programmer must be correct. Some
types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at the
changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British
Summer Time.
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating
programme, for example, ‘Override’, ‘Advance’ or
‘Boost’. These are explained in the manufacturer’s
instructions.
The heating will not work if the room thermostat has
switched the heating off. Also, if you have a hot-water
cylinder, the water heating
will not work if the cylinder
thermostat detects that the
hot water has reached the
correct temperature.
What is a room thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A room thermostat simply switches the heating
system on and off as necessary. It 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.
Turning a room thermostat to a higher setting will not
make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the
room heats up depends on the design of the heating
system, for example, the size of boiler and radiators.
Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room
cools down. Turning a room thermostat to a lower
setting will result in the room being controlled at a
lower temperature, and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time switch or
programmer has switched it off.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to
find the lowest temperature setting that you are
comfortable with, 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 18ºC – and then turn it up
by one degree 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 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.
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 prevent the
thermostat from working properly.
What is a cylinder thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A cylinder thermostat switches on and off the heat
supply from the boiler to the hot-water cylinder. It
works by sensing the temperature of the water inside
the cylinder, switching on the water heating when the
temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and
switching it off once this set temperature has been
reached.
Turning a cylinder thermostat to a higher setting will
not make the water heat up any faster. How quickly the
water heats up depends on the design of the heating
system, for example, the size of boiler and the heat
exchanger inside the cylinder.
The water heating will not work if a time switch or
programmer has switched it off. And the cylinder
thermostat will not always switch the boiler off,
because the boiler sometimes needs to heat the
radiators.
Cylinder thermostats are usually fitted between one
quarter and one third of the way up the cylinder. The
cylinder thermostat will have a temperature scale
marked on it, and it should be set at between 60C and
65C, then left to do its job. This temperature is high
enough to kill off harmful bacteria in the water, but
raising the temperature of the stored hot water any
higher will result in wasted energy and increase the
risk of scalding.
If you have a boiler control thermostat, it should
always be set to a higher temperature than that of the
cylinder thermostat. In most boilers, a single boiler
thermostat controls the temperature of water sent
to both the cylinder and radiators, although in some
there are two separate boiler thermostats.
