How Does a Thermostat Work on a Boiler

It uses a sensor to monitor the temperature of your home, and consequently it keeps an eye on what your boiler is up to. If your room thermostat senses that your home has reached its target temperature, it will switch the central heating off. Once the temperature drops, it’ll fire up the boiler again.

How do I know if my boiler thermostat is working?

  1. Your thermostat has no power or is unresponsive. …
  2. Your A/C or heater runs constantly and won’t turn OFF. …
  3. Room temperature and setting don’t match.

What should a boiler thermostat be set at?

As a rule, setting your heating control to 75 degrees should be sufficient to give you a perfectly warm house, while also allowing your boiler to run as economically as possible. Once this is set, you shouldn’t need to adjust it.
