18. 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 So a programmable room thermostat lets you choose what times you want the heating to be on and what temperature it should reach while it is on It will allow you to select different temperatures in your home at different times of the day and days of the week to meet your particular needs Turning a programmable room thermostat to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster How quickly the room heats up depends on the design of the heating system for example the size of boiler and radiators Neither does the setting affect how quickly the room cools down Turning a programmable room thermostat to a lower setting will result in the room being controlled at a lower temperature and saves energy The way to set and use your programmable room thermostat is to find the lowest temperature settings that you are comfortable with at 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 18 C and then turn them up by one degree each day until you are comfortable with the temperatures You won t have to adjust the thermostat further Any adjustments above these settings will waste energy and cost you more money If your heati
