If you need to choose a new inexpensive room thermostat consider the Danfoss RMT230.

Finished in white this thermostat suits most room decors and blends in well with its soft appearance.

If your existing central heating thermostat has developed a fault it is cost effective to replace it with a new one as opposed to trying to repair it or get it recalibrated.

The cheap selling price of the Danfoss RMT230 appeals to a lot of house owners as it does what is expected.

Installation of this room thermostat is straight forward but as with all heating systems it is recommended it is installed by an approved and qualified heating engineer or service company.

Depending on your particular boiler and heating system a temperature range adjustment is possible between 10 and 30 degrees with the Danfost RMT230 Room Thermostat.

Faulty Boiler Thermostat?

If your domestic central heating system is not working properly the thermostat should be one of the first items to check.

A faulty thermostat is a common problem associated with central heating boilers and heating systems in general.

Thermostats can fail suddenly but typically lose their accuracy over a period of time, usually after years of service.

When they lose their accuracy they measure temperature inaccurately giving false readings to the boilers controller unit. This then equates to the central heating boiler turning off and on at the wrong times.

If your boiler is not working properly and is either full on or off it could be a sign that the thermostat requires replacing with a new one.

Basic or programmable?

When choosing which new boiler thermostat to buy you can choose to purchase one that is a basic control or a programmable one. Not to be confused with a programmable timer control unit a thermostat of this type is actually a combination unit which can combine both units as one.

A basic central heating thermostat unit allows you to set the temperature the boiler kicks in and out with. A programmable one allows you to set a combination of different temperatures to match timings when you want your home to heat up or down.

A central heating repairer or plumber will go through a series of steps to see if your boiler thermostat is faulty or not. In addition to the programmer unit they will also inspect and test any timers, switches, the central heating pump unit, as well as operation of the boiler as well.

Remember, the home owner should not attempt to undertake any complex servicing or repair work on their central heating system. With gas boilers and central heating systems a qualified and approved heating engineer should be sourced instead.
