The room thermostat is the primary temperature control point in a home with individual natural gas heating.
How it works
It measures the room temperature and requests heating when the temperature drops below the desired value.
Proper location
It should not be placed next to a radiator, window, exterior door, or heat source, as this will affect the reading.
On/Off and modulating
A simple thermostat operates with an on/off command, while a modulating thermostat can communicate with the boiler so that power output is adjusted more smoothly.
Common mistake
Setting the temperature too high does not heat the room faster. It usually only increases the operating time and consumption.
