Setting your thermostat

Thermostats control the warmth of your home by measuring the air temperature. You'll find your thermostat near the front door or the main hallway.

Step-by-step: Setting your thermostat

You can set your thermostat in a few easy steps:

1. On your thermostat is a number dial. This dial tells you how warm the room is in degrees. You'll notice that your thermostat ranges from 0°c to 30°c. Turn your thermostat until you hear a click. This click will tell you what temperature the room currently is.
2. Turn the thermostat past the click to turn on your heating. Turn the thermostat below the click to turn off the heating.
3. The best setting for your thermostat is 20°c. This will keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
4. The click will rise or fall with the temperature in the room. Once the room temperature reaches the temperature you have set on the dial, it will turn off.

If you feel 20°c is not warm enough, you can increase the temperature by 1°c. Even though this is a small amount, it can have a big impact on the warmth of your home and your energy bills.

It's best to try small adjustments until you find a comfortable temperature. Remember that lowering your room temperature by 1°c can save money on your energy bills over a 12-month period.
