What are central heating controls?

Central heating controls let you set when and how your heating comes on. They include thermostats, programmers, and TRVs (thermostatic radiator valves) so you can control the temperature room‑by‑room or across the whole property.

What types of central heating controls are there?

Common types include:

Room thermostats – control the temperature in a single area
Programmable thermostats – set different times and temperatures
Smart heating controls – control your heating from an app or voice assistant
TRVs – control heat output for each radiator

Are smart heating controls worth it?

For most homes they can help you save money and make heating more convenient. You can adjust settings from your phone, set heating zones, and track energy use.

How do TRVs save energy?

TRVs let you adjust radiator temperature in rooms you’re not using. That means your boiler works less, reducing fuel use and heating bills.

What’s the difference between a timer and a programmer?

Timer: turns the heating on and off at set times each day.
Programmer: lets you set different schedules for different days of the week.

Do central heating controls work with all boilers?

Most modern controls work with combi, system, and heat‑only boilers. Always check boiler compatibility, especially for smart systems and older boilers.

How can I get the most from my central heating controls?

Set your room thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature (around 18–21 °C)
Use TRVs to avoid heating unused rooms
Set heating to match your routine, not 24/7
Review settings seasonally for best efficiency
