What is a programmer?
... an explanation for householders
Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off ’ time
periods. Some models switc h the central heating and
domestic hot water on and off at the same tim e, while
others allow the domestic hot wate r and heating to
come on and go off at different time s.
Set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time per iods to suit your own
lifestyle. On some progr ammers you must also set
whether you want the heating and hot water to run
continuously, run under the chosen ‘On’ and ‘Of f’
heating periods, or be permanen tly off.
The time on the programmer must be corre ct. Some
types have to be adjusted in spring and aut umn at the
changes between Greenwi ch 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 manuf acturer’s
instructio ns.
The heating will not work if the room thermos tat has
switched the heating of f. Also, if you have a hot-water
cylinder, the water heating
will not work if the cylinder
thermostat detec ts that the
hot water has reached the
correct temperat ure.
What is a room thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A room thermostat simply sw itches the heating
system on and off as necess ary. It works by sensing
the air temperature, switchin g on the heating when
the air temperature falls below the ther mostat setting,
and switching it off once this set temp erature has
been reached.
Turning a room thermostat to a higher sett ing 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 radiato rs.
Neither does the sett ing affect how quickly the room
cools down. Turning a room thermostat to a lower
setting will result in the room being con trolled at a
lower temperature, and saves energy.
The heating system will not work if a time swi tch or
programmer has switched it of f.
The way to set and use your room thermostat is to
find the lowest temperature set ting that you are
comfortable wit h, and then leave it alone to do its job.
The best way to do this is to set the room thermosta t
to a low temperature – say 18ºC – and then turn it up
by one degree each day until you are comfortabl e
with the temperature. You won’t have to adjust the
thermostat fur ther. Any adjustment above this settin g
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 thermostat s need a free flow of air to sense
the temperature, so they must not be covered by
curtains or blocked by furni ture. Nearby electric
fires, televisions, wall or table lamps may preven t the
thermostat from wor king properly.
What is a cylinder thermostat?
... an explanation for householders
A cylinder thermost at switches on and off the heat
supply from the boiler to the hot-water cyl inder. It
works by sensing the temperature of the wat er inside
the cylinder, switching on the water heatin g when the
temperature falls below the ther mostat setting, and
switching it off once this set temp erature has been
reached.
Turning a cylinder thermostat to a higher set ting will
not make the water heat up any faster. How quickly the
water heats up depends on the design of the heati ng
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 of f. And the cylinder
thermostat will not alway s switch the boiler off,
because the boiler sometim es needs to heat the
radiators.
Cylinder thermostat s are usually fitted between one
quarter and one third of the way up the cylinder. The
cylinder thermos tat 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 tempera ture is high
enough to kill off harmful bac teria in the water, but
raising the temperature of the sto red hot water any
higher will result in wasted energy and incre ase the
risk of scalding.
If you have a boiler control thermosta t, it should
always be set to a higher temperature than that of the
cylinder thermos tat. In most boilers, a single boiler
thermostat cont rols the temperature of water sent
to both the cylinder and radiators , although in some
there are two separate boiler ther mostats.
