Radiator Thermostats (TRVs), the original and simplest room temperature controls, remain essential to achieving full energy efficiency with most ‘wet' domestic central heating systems.

Radiator Thermostats

Energy efficient heating requires close control of both time and temperature.
 
Programmers and timeswitches are an essential part of controlling any central heating system.

Thermostats limit consumption and enhance comfort by controlling the temperature of the home.
