heating system

[koper]

Hi,

Just wanted some advice really, recently moved into a new build house and am having some problems with the heating system (at least I think I am) I just want to make sure before I approach the Bryant Homes customer care.

Right, my heating / water system involves a hot water tank in the airing cupboard, boiler in the kitchen with electronic timer sperate situated underneath and a thermostat in the hallway (not sure if any of this matters). I have set the timers for both the hot water and heating (seperate programmes) but was wondering if when I turn my thermostat up shoudl my heating automatically turn on? Because this is what happens and it stays on for as long as the thermostat is turned up, surely I should be able to have the thermostat turned up but the heating should not come on until due with the timer? So I have to keep the thermostat turned down so its not on all day whilst I am out but then this means it doesnt come on with the timer meaning its not hot when I get home from work / get up in the morning and I have to turn it on manually!

Any ideas or am I just being stupid?

Assuming that your thermostat is just a thermostat and not a programmer, it's function is purely to tell the boiler to stop heating (the central heating circuit) once the the room is up to temperature. It should have no bearing on the timing controls

If it is a programmable it will.

Sounds like you have a new build house. Go ask the agent how it works he will have more idea than us.
