How does a thermostat help you save money?

A room thermostat is a device that regulates the operation of the boiler depending on the AIR temperature in the room.

How does thermostat adjustment work?

Set the thermostat to the desired room temperature, for example +23°C.

When the air temperature drops by 0.25-1°C (the threshold depends on the thermostat model), the thermostat gives a command to start the boiler – the boiler starts heating.

As soon as the air temperature in the room reaches +23.25°C – +24°C, the thermostat stops the boiler.

Moreover, it turns off not only the burner, but also the pump (we start saving).

The air in the room cools much more slowly than the water in the heating system, and the frequency of boiler startup is reduced by ten times, which can only affect the increase in the service life of the device.

Advantages of a thermostat in an apartment/house:

  1. There is no need to manually adjust the boiler temperature – just set it on the thermostat!
  2. Boilers NOT controlled by a thermostat uselessly consume up to 25-30% of energy, because increasing the room temperature above the required level even by 1°C, in addition to noticeable discomfort, leads to a significant excess consumption of fuel for the steam boiler.
  3. Now you can pull up your gas bills and calculate how much you paid last heating season.

Subtract 25-30% from this amount – this is what you would pay for gas if you had a room thermostat installed.

  1. You won’t be heating the room while you’re away, since you’ll set it to a maintenance temperature of around 17 degrees when you’re not home, and only an hour before you get home can you set it to a comfortable temperature (23 degrees for example).
  2. Plus another 30-40 kW of energy savings per month and also a reduction in boiler wear, which cannot be calculated. The payback and efficiency of the device are obvious.

How can I connect a thermostat?

After choosing a model, a person usually thinks about how to connect the thermostat to a gas, electric, etc. boiler

The connection is made in accordance with the recommendations that the manufacturer described in the technical data sheet of the device.

What benefits does purchasing and installing a thermostat give you?

  1. savings on utility costs (minus 15-30%);
  2. setting a comfortable temperature – the ability to choose from 2 to 6 modes;
  3. reducing the frequency of boiler starts;
  4. protection against room overheating and air dryness;
  5. increasing the service life of equipment, in particular the circulation pump, due to careful handling of the boiler.

Individual temperature settings are suitable for families with children, where it is always necessary to maintain a comfortable mode, as well as for people who are especially sensitive to temperature changes.


What accessories for thermostats are available in our showroom??

  1. Outdoor air temperature sensor – which is connected to Ariston boilers that have the AUTO function.

Thus, in addition to the room temperature, your boiler will also know the outside temperature.

Thus, the AUTO algorithm will save you another 7% of gas consumption.

  1. Automation system for heated floors – as part of a central automation system, feeders and independent thermostats in each room.

This system can very effectively regulate the temperature in each room separately (if you want to set it to 18 degrees in one room and 23 in another).

  1. Transmitter for converting a thermostat from a simple one to a smart one. To do this, you need to buy a SMART transmitter separately and you can connect via the Internet to the thermostat settings.

Remember: if you consider the statistics for the heating season, then a room thermostat can reduce gas consumption by 15-30%.

Plus, with a room thermostat, you get climate control and free up valuable time and attention because everything is controlled automatically.
