A thermostat is essentially a thermometer with the ability to switch appliances on and off. Typically the appliance in question will be your central heating system. However, thermostats can also be found in immersion heaters and other devices that deal primarily with heat. A thermostat will usually come in the form of a small device that will have some kind of control for setting the desired temperature, and possibly a readout of some sort telling you the current temperature. The exact design of the thermostat will vary from model to model, but the functionality will be mostly the same across comparable models. At No1PHD, we are fully trained in fitting a wide range of thermostats, so whichever takes your fancy, we can help.
Recent years have seen an increase in the use of smart thermostats. Smart thermostats are essentially souped-up thermostats with internet connectivity and a range of additional features for managing your heating. A smart thermostat will often allow you to control your heating remotely, such as through apps on your phones and tablets, or using voice control through a home assistant device. These devices can also come with clever software for determining when to turn your heating on and off based on your behaviour, the times you are typically home, and even the time of year. Not to mention a range of other factors such as personal preferences and zonal locations in the property. These features can lead to significant cost savings over a regular thermostat and timer combination. If you’re unsure about the benefits a smart thermostat could provide for you, why not give No1PHD a call to talk about your options.
Other than the thermostat being visibly offline, the main thing to look out for is your heating either not activating when it should, or not activating at all. If your heating is not activating at all, it could be a fault with your boiler, but in either case, it would be time to call No1PHD and get an expert opinion on your problem. Problems may also manifest as your heating continuing to warm your home beyond the point where you’d set your thermostat to shut it off, which would also represent a threat to your bank balance as much as your comfort.
Regardless of whether you have a faulty thermostat that needs replacing, are looking to have a new thermostat installed, or just want to upgrade to state of the art, money-saving smart thermostats, No1PHD are here to help. Call us on 01425 208031 and speak to one of our Portsmouth local heating experts today.
