Make better use of your heating timer, thermostat and radiator controls. Tom Whitelam explains what to consider before upgrading heating controls in your York home.
A programmer or timer sets when your heating runs, while a room thermostat controls the temperature. Thermostatic radiator valves help manage warmth in individual rooms. Used together, suitable controls can help avoid heating your home unnecessarily. Start by reviewing your existing settings and checking that the schedule still suits the people living in the property.
Smart thermostats and app controls can offer more flexible scheduling, but extra features are only useful if you understand and use them. Consider how you want to adjust the heating and whether everyone at home can operate it. Compatibility with your boiler and the rest of the heating system needs checking before you buy a replacement control.
If you are unsure about your thermostat, timer or radiator controls, contact me to discuss the existing system. I can advise on suitable options and the work an upgrade would involve. Any savings depend on your property, settings and previous heating habits. For independent guidance on using heating controls, follow the Energy Saving Trust link below.
