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.
