Lower your thermostat

Hi there,Just wanted to share with you how we managed to reduce the temperaturefrom 21.5C to 19.5C, when I tried reducing it straight to 19.5Ceveryone felt cold so it was turned back up.What I did was lower it by just 0.5C every two weeks or so, so knoweveryone is perfectly happy at 19.5C, it is far too hot if you come inafter running, a bit cool if you just sit with a t-shirt however it isa comfortable temperature when you wear a long sleeved top.I never feel cold even with a t-shirt though.I am happy at 16.5C in my own room but no one else is, I get called ahot blooded teenager!

Unscrew the grub screw so that the knob doesn't actually turn the shaft

Installer menu - Category 1 - Parameter - Temperature Offset (12:tO) - set to +1.5 will fix that ;-)

Way back when in rented accommodation with a load of other young blokes we had the opposite problem,the landlady kept herself warm in her self contained flat upstairs but the Telly lounge/common room was decidedly chilly. Then one lad found that his workplace held cans of freezer spray in its stores. A good blast over the thermostat sensor every so often kept the heating on nicely. Nice low tech solution that avoided any tampering.
