Mechanic room stat

[Inverness]

This might be a Stupid question so I do apologise.

if I have my boiler on programme setting and the heating to come on at 2pm ATM the moment it is 1pm and the room temperature is 12 degrees so If I go over and turn the stat to 20 degrees the boiler will fire up until the room temperature has reached 20 degrees and then will switch off? I understand this part.

This is the problem i don't understand because the room stat is on 20 degrees from the last time I turn the dial.if the timer on the boiler wasn't to come on yet, until say 5pm but the room was about 12 degrees do I need to turn the room stat all the way back to 10 degrees too then 20 degree until I hear the click?

I'm a wee bit confused ?

turn it up or down dependent. if you turn down and hear a click your turning it lower than the current room temp if you turn up and hear a click your turning higher ??????? don't get ur question tbh..

I understand that bit. whatever the last setting is on the room stat is this the setting that the boiler will turn off when it comes on through the timed?

 

[Whyme]

These things aren't very accurate, there will always be a bit of a discrepancy.

Thats why sparkies should not wire heating systems.
