Heating
The heating in the property is set on a timer so it will only run at certain times of the day. There is a portable thermostat which remains in the kitchen that controls all of the house, except the sunroom. It has been set to ensure the house is warm enough for you from morning to evening.
Should you need a bit of extra heat use the buttons on the front above and below the thermometer to alter the temperature. The program button should remain on Auto.
There is underfloor heating in the Sun Room on a separate control to the rest of the house. This is where the dining table is and the control is on the wall. You can use the plus and minus buttons should you need to alter the temperature.
Please be aware that setting the temperature thermostat higher will not make the room heat up quicker!
