What is a programmable room thermostat?

A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer

and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set

“On” and “Off” time 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 when

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.

Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting

will not make the room heat up any faster. How quickly the

room heats up will depend on the design of the heating

system, for example, the size of the boiler and radiators.
