Comfort levels are different to Switching Times, let's see why.

 

We are all used to programming the heating to be on at say 8.00am and off at say 10.00am Then maybe on again at 17.00 and off at 23.00.

 

The problem with this method is that the building is allowed to drop very low in temperature during the "off" times. This results in a much longer warm up time, resulting in more energy being used.

 

Comfort Levels allow you can program different temperatures at different times of the day. So, rather than turning the heating totally off during the day whilst you are working, you may ask for say 14 or 15C resulting in a much faster heat up time on your return home, but also this method provides energy savings. 

 

This method of control is approved by the Energy Saving Trust.
