I looked into this, but I quickly realised I never use my Thermostat.
My heating is controlled by a time-switch that directly enables the boiler in the morning and at night, and as far as I know this is how most people I know operate.
We do have thermostats but they are largely ignored boxes that sit in the hallway and/or landing.
Is this just something to do with living in a cold country? I would have thought a nest equivalent that directly operates the boiler would have been a better device ...
- stevep98 11y agoSounds like you have a water-pipe central heating system. You probably have thermostatic valves on each radiator, which control the flow to each radiator. That's why the main thermostat doesn't do much.
- ricksplat 11y agoYep exactly! It's pretty much standard here. So I guess the Nest is targeting people with electric heating only? Sounds like taking a "quick win" while ignoring a potentially larger market!
