Usually, these devices are installed in the room where there is a warm floor. The thermostat allows you to solve the problem of maintaining a given floor and air temperature, save energy, turn on and off heating on a schedule. A wide range of thermostats is presented on the domestic market. When choosing a suitable model, experts advise you to pay attention to several points.

Selection recommendations

Device type. To control the operation of the warm floor, two types of thermostats are used.

1. Mechanical devices are ordinary regulators that allow you to set the desired temperature by turning a special knob. They are distinguished by their reliability, maintainability and low cost. The main disadvantage of such devices is the inability to see the current floor or air temperature.
2. High demand is currently observed for electronic models. They are equipped with a touch screen, floor sensor and air sensor. The current temperature is shown on the backlit screen. The advantage of some electronic thermostats is the possibility of programming and remote control (via the Internet).

Maximum load. Underfloor heating consumes a certain amount of electricity. Therefore, when choosing a thermostat, you should pay attention to the maximum power with which the device can work. Most often, the maximum load range is in the range of 3000-4000 W.

Installation method. Manufacturers produce two types of thermostats.

1. Surface models are mounted on wall surfaces. They are affordable and easy to install. But the protruding device spoils the interior of the room.
2. Concealed thermostats are mounted in special niches that have the same dimensions as for a switch or socket. They are more difficult to install and connect, but look harmonious against the background of decoration.

Ease of management. To make it convenient to use the warm floor, manufacturers offer several control options.

1. Fully meets the concept of a smart home, floor heating control via a smartphone. While at work, the user can change the temperature. This can be very important for residents with disabilities.
2. The programming function allows you to set the optimal temperature conditions not only by the hour, but also by the days of the week.
