Automatic temperature controllers - a way to reduce heating costs?



Home heating costs consume a large part of your home budget. In order to reduce heating expenses and to provide the interior with an adequate amount of heat, it is worth using temperature controllers - room or weather.

Temperature regulators release the household members from the necessity of continuous operation of the heating device and guarantee energy-saving heating without energy losses due to room overheating. The operation of the heating system can be controlled by means of a room regulator or a weather regulator.

Lower heating costs with a room regulator

The room regulator enables automatic control of the heating installation, adapting the boiler's operation to the room temperature. When it falls below the set value or grows above a certain value, the room controller will transmit a signal to the heating device, which will react by raising the temperature of the water in the system or lowering it, depending on the needs. This solution allows you to reduce the cost of heating your home in a non-negligible way - that is, without sacrificing the thermal comfort of the household.

Energy-efficient heating thanks to weather regulators

Weather controllers are devices that allow you to control the operation of the heating installation and adapt it to the current weather conditions. Unlike room regulators, weather devices have an external temperature sensor that measures its value outside the home and on this basis (and user settings), maintains the optimum temperature inside the home. Weather regulators are more expensive than these rooms, but they guarantee more energy-efficient heating - they allow them to be adapted to the changing conditions prevailing outside, thus ensuring constant thermal comfort and smooth boiler operation.

Both room and weather regulators are equipped with additional functions, allowing them to be programmed in such a way as to ensure lowering the temperature inside the house at selected times. Thanks to this, the room temperature can be automatically lowered at night or during the absence of household members. This solution brings additional energy savings.
