Is Your Floor Heating Thermostat Ready for Winter?

Introduction

With winter just around the corner, it's time to make sure your home is prepared for the colder months. While you might already be thinking about sealing windows, cleaning out gutters, or scheduling routine maintenance for your home, don't forget one crucial component: your underfloor heating thermostat. A quick check of your flooring thermostat now could save you from unexpected headaches when temperatures drop, and heating becomes essential. 

Why Checking Your Thermostat Before Winter is Important 

A well-functioning thermostat is vital for your home's comfort. Here are a few reasons why checking it before the cold sets in should be a top priority: 

• Optimized Efficiency: A properly functioning thermostat helps regulate the temperature in your home, allowing your heating system to work efficiently. An inaccurate thermostat could cause your system to work harder than necessary, leading to frequent cycling between on and off modes. 

• Lower Energy Bills: A thermostat that's off by even a few degrees can lead to higher energy bills. By ensuring your thermostat is calibrated correctly, you can avoid unnecessary heating costs and enjoy a more energy-efficient home throughout the season. 

• Peace of Mind: Winter can be unpredictable, and the last thing you want is for your heating system to fail during a cold snap. Making sure your thermostat is in top shape gives you peace of mind knowing that your home will stay comfortable, no matter how cold it gets outside. 

A Simple Pre-Winter Thermostat Checklist

Getting your thermostat ready for winter doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure your system is functioning properly: 

• Test Your Heating System Early: Don’t wait until the first cold day to turn on your electrical floor heating system. Monitor how long it takes for your home to reach the set temperature and whether the electric floor heating system shuts off when it should. If anything seems off, it may need recalibration or a professional inspection. 
• Check for Accurate Temperature Readings: Does your floor thermostat show the actual temperature in your home and in your floor? If the room feels much warmer or colder than the temperature on display, you may need to recalibrate it.  
• Consider Upgrading to a Wi-Fi Enabled Thermostat: If you’re still using an older, manual floor thermostat, it might be worth upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. ThermoSoft offers several Wi-Fi enabled floor thermostats including the UWG4-4999 and UWG5-4999.  These newer models offer better control over your home’s temperature, even when you’re away, helping you save energy and maintain comfort throughout the winter. 
• If Needed, Schedule Professional Maintenance: If your thermostat is older, or if you notice any irregularities during your check, it may be time to call in a professional for a thorough inspection or thermostat replacement. This is especially important if your floor heating system has been off all summer. A certified technician can catch any issues and make sure your heating system is ready to handle the upcoming cold weather. 

Don't Get Left in the Cold – Act Now 

Winter can be tough, but a little preparation goes a long way. By taking the time to check your thermostats now, you'll not only ensure a comfortable home but also avoid costly energy bills and urgent repairs later.
