Room Thermostats

Room thermostats are a vital part of your home heating system. The room thermostat, also known as a central heating thermostat, detects the temperature of the air in your home and communicates with the central heating system to turn the heating on when the room is cold and off when the desired temperature is reached.

A room thermostat can help to keep your home at a comfortable air temperature all year round and save money on heating costs. We have a range of programmable room thermostats from leading brands at YESSS Electrical, giving you numerous options.

Searching for a Room Thermostat? Read our FAQs:

What is a room thermostat, and how does it work?

A room thermostat is a device designed to regulate the temperature of a specific area within your home. It works by sensing the room's current temperature and comparing it to your desired set temperature. If the room temperature drops below or rises above this setting, the thermostat will trigger your heating system to adjust accordingly.

How can I program my thermostat to save energy?

Programmable thermostats allow you to set a schedule based on your routine. You can program the thermostat to lower the heat when you're away from home or asleep, and then adjust to your preferred temperature shortly before you return or wake up. This helps reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.

Can I install a room thermostat myself, or should I hire a professional?

While some basic mechanical thermostats with a normal control dial can be installed by a knowledgeable DIY enthusiast, digital thermostats or wireless thermostats often require professional installation to ensure they are set up correctly and working optimally.

Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a professional if you're unsure about installing your digital thermostat.

How often should I replace my room thermostat?

While there's no set rule, a good guideline is to consider replacing your room thermostat every 10 years, or sooner if you're experiencing problems like a cold house in the morning or uncomfortable temperatures and want to upgrade to a more advanced model.

Are room thermostats compatible with all heating systems?

Most room thermostats are designed to work with a variety of heating systems, but compatibility can vary depending on the specific model and system. Always check the product specifications or consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.

What are the benefits of using a wireless thermostat?

Wireless thermostats offer the convenience of being able to adjust your home's temperature from anywhere in the house. A wireless room thermostat communicates with your heating or cooling system via radio signals, eliminating the need for hard-wired connections. This makes installation easier and allows for more flexibility in where the thermostat can be placed.

Do room thermostats come with warranties?

Our room thermostats come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period. Warranty terms may vary by product, so it's essential to review the specific warranty information provided with your purchase.

How do I troubleshoot common issues with my room thermostat?

If you're experiencing issues with your room thermostat, start by checking the basics: Is the device powered on? Is the display clear and easy to read? If it's a wireless room model, is it within range of the heating or cooling system? If these checks don't resolve the issue, consult the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide or contact a professional for assistance.
