What is a room thermostat ?

A thermostat, be it mechanical or digital, simply allows the user to set a set-point temperature which will be maintained whenever the time-clock is timed to be on.

Why should I consider a programmable thermostat ?

A programmable room thermostat combines the time-clock function within the thermostat whilst offering additional features.

The main additional feature of a programmable thermostat is the ability to set different temperatures at different times of the day – known as comfort levels. As the temperature set-point can be made to match the lifestyle of the occupant, a programmable thermostat gives far more flexibility and greater energy saving. In addition, programmable thermostats also serve as a frost stat.

Building regulations now state that dwellings with total usable floor areas greater than 150m should have more than one heating circuit with separate time and temperature control. A programmable thermostat is the perfect solution.

The lifestyle of the occupant determines whether a 5/2 day or 7day version is most appropriate. Manufacturers are increasingly offering 5/2 day versions as standard due to the reduced programming required.   

(For more information visit http://www.heatmiser.co.uk/)

I have a mechanical room thermostat, why should i upgrade to a Digital Thermostat?

A mechanical thermostat often maintains temperatures higher than required due to their inherent inaccuracy.  If the room temperature is 1°C higher than the set-point, you are potentially using up to 10% more energy. Conversely when the heating is off, mechanical thermostats are slow to respond and the room temperature can fall between 3-5°C before the heating comes back on, making occupants uncomfortable. Digital technology has helped to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement and therefore control. Accuracy of greater than 1°C is the norm.  Rooms rarely exceed the target temperature and energy use is therefore minimised. Conversely the heating comes back on as soon as the temperature falls maintaining a stable temperature keeping occupants comfortable. 

Digital technology applied to thermostats has given rise to a number of variants.
