Hi all
We moved into a house with underfloor heating in our family bathroom and the temperature is controlled by an electric thermostat like this:
This thermostat is powered by a fused switch near the skirting board, like this:
It’s great to have underfloor heating but it takes ages to heat up, so it’s not even warm by the time you’ve turned it on and finished in the bathroom!
What would be ideal would be some kind of powered timer fused socket or thermostat. So, my questions are:
- Is it possible to buy a simple thermostat (like the one pictured above) that I can programme to come on/off at certain times of day? The only ones I can find seem to be ones that operate central heating systems and are far too complex for something this simple.
- Or, can you buy some kind of fused electric switch (like the one near the skirting board) that allows me to programme when it switches power on/off? The only things I’ve been able to find are timer plugs that are more for plugging things into, rather than just plain switches.
All suggestions welcome.
