There are several different types of boiler control or thermostats you may have. Its always goo to know what you’ve currently got, even if you are looking to upgrade to a smart home thermostat like Hive or NEST.
Your timer switch, which you’ll recognise if it has a built-in clock and electronic display, allows you to set your heating and hot water separately, so you can programme it to come on at certain times of the day. These often have a shelf life of 5-10 years, and when they fail, will often mean you won’t get any heating or hot water as it control the functions of the boiler. But to replace it can usually be a simple task, particularly if its a straight swap.
You’ll usually find your boiler thermostat control on the front of your boiler. This controls the temperature of the water that flows through your system and feeds your radiators, and the temperature of your hot water tap.
You can adjust this temperature according to your needs, often with a manual timing that allows you to select the hours that you want your heating and hot water.
This usually looks like a round disk on a plastic case that sometimes found in the hallway or landing.
A room thermostat allow you to set the temperature you want in a specific room or area of your property. Within the housing is a temperature sensor, so as soon as it detects its reached the desired heat, it will stop or slow down the boiler to maintain that heat. If this goes, you’ll find that you heating won’t work where it is located as its usually the tempertaurre sensor that goes.
If you’ve got a separate hot water cylinder, maybe in your loft or in your airing cupboard, it’s likely you’ll have a Cylinder thermostat that control how hot the water gets for the water that comes out of your tap. If thjis goes, you won’t get any hot water as the thermostat wont regulate the heating of the water. But its quite a simpel fix if this goes wrong.
The NEST smart thermostat is a great piece of kit. You can control your heating from your smart phone, so if you are out, you can set the heating to warm up so you come back to a nice cosy home. Like wise you can turn the hating down if you forgot to. It also learn your habits, so over time, will amend the heating of your property so you spend less on your heating bills. And its looks cool on the wall! We’ve installed quite a few over the years, so know how important it is to get paired up to your WIFI for it to work.
Similar to NEST, Hive actively looks to save you money on your heating bill by tracking your usage and suggesting intelligent ways to save money. It’s a brilliant piece of kit that’s very flexible. You can programme your heating schedule at the touch of a button on your smart phone. We installed quite a few of these and can highly recommend them
