Central Heating Controls

Central Heating Controls are required to correctly set your heating and hot water, ensuring they turn on and off when needed to keep your energy usage to a minimum.

Old, faulty or poorly set Central Heating Controls can result in wasted energy (and money). Our Heating Engineers can install, replace and set all forms of Heating Programmers.

A modern, optimised Central Heating System will have

• A Thermostat – sets the desired temperature of your home
• A Programmer – sets the times that the Central Heating and Hot Water Cylinder are on
• Thermostatic Radiator Valves – regulates the temperature of each room
• Central Heating systems with a cylinder will also have a cylinder thermostat

Older central heating systems may have a timer and a thermostat, resulting in reduced energy efficiency.

Room Thermostats

A room thermostat measures the room temperature and instructs your heating system when to turn on and turn off, ensuring your home stays at your desired temperature.

You set your preferred temperature with the thermostat. When the room drops below this setting, the heating will turn on, and then once the set room temperature has been achieved, the heating will switch off.

A thermostat ensures your home is never too hot or too cold with excellent energy efficiency.

Room Thermostats are available with a traditional dial, digital and wired or wireless.

• Traditional dials are simple and easy to use
• Digital  Thermostats are more accurate and can be programmed
• Wired Thermostats are fixed to a permanent spot on the wall and hardwired directly to the central heating system
• Wireless Thermostats are mobile and can be used in any room of the house

Programmers

Programmers allow you to set the times for your heating and hot water; the hot water also has a boost override switch which means hot water can be switched on if required outside the usual set times.
