Summing up what we've discovered already, you can see that all mechanical thermostats (all non-electronic ones) use substances that change size or shape with increasing temperature. So bitmetallic thermostats rely on the expansion of metals as they get hotter, while gas bellows work using the expansion of gases. Some thermostats go further and use the change in state of a substance from liquid to ...

Temperature valves fitted to central heating radiators typically use wax thermostats. When the radiators heat up to the level you've set, the wax valves expand and reduce the flow of water through the radiator until the temperature falls back down again. Coupled with room thermostats, valves like these can stop your home from overheating—and that's a good way both to save energy and money and do y...

Most of us spend only a half to a third of our time at home: the rest of the day, we're either at work or traveling there. Typically, we'll have a programmer or thermotstat at home that switches the heating on or off either according to the time of day or the inside temperature. But that's a crude system at best.

When your schedule varies, it can automatically...

In the USA, about 90% of homes are powered by a central heating/cooling system like a central furnace or a boiler or a heat pump based system. We write about boiler thermostats in this guide, which are thermostats for controlling central boiler units. A boiler is basically a specially designed water heater – which distributes heat through hot water, while systems like a central furnace distribute ...
