Programmers

Controlling the daily timing of your central heating system not only helps to minimise energy wastage and lessen your bills, but also ensures you always have a warm and cosy home ready to come home too. With the help of a programmer, you can set your system to a pre-selected day-to-day schedule that keeps your heating off when you’re out and on when you need it.  

There are a few different types of programmer available, each designed to offer varying levels of control. One-day programmers allow you to choose when the heating will switch on/off throughout the day but are limited to one day’s settings repeated for the entire week. 5-2 programmers allow you to set two separate heating patterns, one perhaps for weekdays and another for the weekend. For the most advanced timing control, 7-day programmers give you the freedom to establish settings for each day of the week individually.  

When choosing a programmer, think carefully about the impact of your weekly routine and lifestyle. If you are away working most weekdays yet at home for the weekends, a 5-2 programmer would provide the perfect level of timing control to accommodate your schedule. If there’s someone at home most days of the week, a one-day programmer would maintain practical consistency in your daily heating habits without the extra task of timing switch on yourself.
