Complete Guide to Electric Heating Systems: The Role and Importance of the Thermostat

The basis for the efficient and safe operation of electric heating systems is the use of the right thermostat. Together with the control, they play an essential role in increasing energy efficiency and taking into account safety aspects.

The Basic Role of the Thermostat

The devices are key in controlling electric heating systems such as underfloor heating (heating foil, heating mat, heating cable) and other heating solutions. These devices ensure that the heating only operates when needed, thus reducing energy consumption and increasing the efficiency of the system.

Types and Applications

• Underfloor heating devices: These are usually equipped with a floor sensor, which is essential for accurate temperature control of underfloor heating systems.
• Devices for radiators: Various types can be used to control the temperature of radiators.
• Categorization by appearance: Push-button, touch display; color or non-color display; black or white; with variable frames.
• Remotely controlled WiFi models: These allow you to control your heating remotely, ideal for those who are often away from home.
• Locally programmable models: These thermostats allow for on-site settings, providing simple and direct operation.

Technical Information: Digital Devices

Digital devices use advanced sensor technology to measure the room temperature and regulate the operation of the heating system accordingly. Products equipped with a bimetallic switch are extremely reliable and have a long service life.

Correct Device Placement

Correct placement of the device is crucial for effective operation:

• Avoid placing near doors and windows.
• It cannot be placed directly next to a radiator or behind furniture.
• Recommended height: light switch height.

Why Choose Electric Heating?

• Efficiency and economy: Electric heating is extremely efficient, especially with the use of appropriate control.
• Instant warmth: The heat effect is felt quickly.
• Adaptive design: Compatible with any cover.
