Hi there,
My old manual turn-dial thermostat has given up the ghost and I was thinking of buying a digital programmable version as a replacement - I have read that this not only gives you much better flexibility but also can help reduce energy bills.
Anyway, I would be really grateful for any recommendations/advice as to what to look out for.
Having done a bit of research, I think I need the following:
* 5/2 or 5/1/1 programmability
* Frost protection (though at the moment I cannot see that this would actually be necessary if you keep the hearing at a minimum temperature at all times).
* The ability to "learn" so it eventually learns how long to turn the heating on in advance to have it at a particular temperature at a particular time
Any help would be much appreciated - especially with the particularly cold winter that we are supposedly expecting this year.
Thanks
