recommendations for a thermostat

starving_artist

I would be very grateful for any recommendations for a simple room thermostat which controls both a hot water cylinder tank and electric radiators. The existing one has complicated programming which is confusing and difficult to override.

Anyone able to help to suggest anything?

A room thermostat controls the heating, a cyliner thermostat controls the hot water (on a system boiler)

What you may have is a cheap programmable timer / thermostat

What kind of boiler is it (make, model) ?

Is it a system or a combi system, oil, gas or other ?

By the sound of it, it's all electric. Electric radiators and electric hot water cylinder.

OP is confused by their existing programmer methinks.

What make / model is it and what is it controlling?

Yes all electric - controls electric hot water and electric radiators. It's a programmable timer and thermostat. No manufacturer name on it but whatever happens I want something different.

Take a picture of it then and post it up.

OP, are the 'electric radiators' maybe storage heaters? If so, are you on an Economy 7 tariff and is this an E7 programmer?

Apologies I got things a bit wrong the hot water has its own thermostat so the one I want to replace is just for electric radiators. They are not storage heaters and am not on E7. The thermostat is by Timeguard and looks a bit like this one . I just want something really simple to replace it.

That is a simple one. Might I suggest you read the manual. What are you looking for exactly? With that one if you want heat press +. If you don't want heat press -. I'm not sure how much easier you want it than that. If you need help programming it to turn off and on and certain times then the manual will help. I don't think they come any easier than that if you want to have 5+2 programming and 6 time and temperature periods with frost protection and daylight saving knowledge. It's a good thermostat.

It's a bit like that one but not the same. There is no + or - to override. I have read the manual.
