CONTROLS

The right heating controls will let you keep your home at a comfortable temperature without wasting fuel or heat.

If you have a central heating system, whether its Electric, Gas, LPG or Oil-fired, your full set of controls should ideally include a boiler thermostat, a timer or programmer, a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs).

​

You can upgrade or install heating controls without replacing your boiler, and it’s a particularly good idea to think about this if your controls are over 14 years old. Room thermostats, for example, are much more accurate now than they used to be.
