Why won't my Gas?
What can I do to fix the following problem. Whenever I set the Gas Central Heating clock timer to under 20c wer have NO heat.
British Gas Fitter says the reason is; that a sensor wont let the heat on if the rooms are not below the desired temp.
Thank you Grandad. Pressed wrong button for low rate = sorry

Turn the thermostat up slowly towards 25c. When you hear a click, that is the room temperature. We run ours on 21.5c. Thermostats are not that accurate, an indicated 20c could be anywhere between a true 18 and 22c. You can buy a cheap plastic room thermometer for £4, cheaper than a new stat. If you wish to replace the stat consider a programmable model with night set-back. Set it for 16c when you are at work, or asleep and your comfort level when you are home. Take advantage of any free insulation offer you can find.
