Thermostats

Thermostat installation, pairing and setting up — including the settings that nobody goes through afterwards.

The short version

A thermostat wired correctly but set up badly will still leave a house uncomfortable. Fitting it is quick; the setup is what makes it earn its place.

A new control will not fix a cold radiator.

If one room is cold and the rest are warm, that is usually a radiator or balancing matter rather than a control one. Worth checking before spending anything on a thermostat.
