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.

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.

The Heatmiser PRT-E is our underfloor heating thermostat. It has been designed specifically with electric underfloor heating in mind. This combination model has two operating modes which can be selected via software by the installer.
Mode 0 is designed to work with a remote floor sensor probe, and controls only floor temperature. 4 different comfort levels can be programmed in this mode which can be set according to the occupancy of the building. The floor sensor can be extended up to 20 meters from the thermostat.
Mode 1 is designed to work with a remote floor sensor and either the built in air sensor or remote air sensor. In this mode, the thermostat will maintain the desired air temperature and will use the floor sensor to prevent the floor from overheating.
- Large display
- Program up to 4 different temperature levels for the weekday and 4 different for the weekend
- Remote sensor probe
- Automatic blue back light
- Room temperature override facility
- Frost protection
- Remote control facility (Remote optional)
- Temperature range 05 - 70 ºC
- 13A Rating

The Touchscreen series of thermostats have been designed to make life a little easier. The intuitive touchscreen display makes searching for the user
manual a thing of the past.
Models available in our Touchscreen series are
- Non programmable - Heatmiser DT-TS
- Programmable - Heatmiser PRT-TS
- Programmable with Hot water output - Heatmiser PRTHW-TS
- Electric Floor Heating Thermostat - Heatmiser PRT-ETS
Building Test and Measurement Instruments from Digital-Meters.com (Division of Heatmiser UK)
Infrared Thermometer - Infrared thermometer are ideal for measuring the temperature of objects at a distance or far away. For our complete range of infrared thermometer products, click here.
Sound Level Meter - Noise at work regulations changed in April 2006 which means that employers must ensure the noise at work falls within regulated limits. Our sound level meter products are designed for this use, and in addition we have sound meters which are ideal for quick noise measurements. Click here to see the sound level meter products we offer.
Anemometer - Our anemometer products are ideal for measuring the airflow in ducts, pipes etc. We also have a gooseneck anemometer ideal for those hard to reach places. Click here to see our anemometer products.
Why not check out our video sections relating to "radiators" and "thermostats" and watch some films on thermostats for central heating.
