Hi there,
I just moved into my new property and I have realised how different the heating system seems to be compared to what I am familiar with.
So, previously I had heaters 'dials' on every single one of them, where I could put them on and off to different temperatures. Now however it seems to be controlled by a thermostat and only some of the heaters have the dial thing on them (and for some reason, on these heaters is on the top, not at the bottom. I will upload pictures at the bottom because I know I am not that great at explanations, sorry).
My main problem is, I need just one or 2 rooms to be good temperature at all times, the rest such as the hallways, frontroom, kitchen and stuff it's not really needed, yet now with this thermostat system if I put the temperature up to get the rooms toastie, I will make the whole house warm and consume a lot of unneeded gas.
I am not a DIY person at all but I would like to hear what options I have before calling someone please? Is there a way to install those dials to the heaters that don't have it or any other way to make sure that the bedrooms are of a certain temperature and the rest of the house is not?
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you for reading this.

The heaters with the dial in this house:
Don't know why the dial is up, I always used to have it down but I guess it's still okay?
The heaters without dial:
Can I turn it off or lower it from here somehow?
