What is a programmable room thermostat ? A programmable room thermostat is both a programmer and a room thermostat. A programmer allows you to set On and "Off time periods to suit your own lifestyle. A room thermostat works by sensing the air temperature, switching on the heating when the air temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it off once this set temperature has been reached.

The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with and the different times you have chosen and then leave it alone to do its job. The best way to do this is to set low temperatures first, say 18ºC, and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example “Override”, “Advance” or “Boost” These are explained in the manufacturers instructions. Programmable room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature, so they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture.
