Simple thermostat

A simple thermostat is used for basic temperature control in heating systems, technical rooms and installations where clear on/off switching is sufficient. The thermostat measures the room temperature and switches the installation based on the set temperature.

At Hewa, you will find simple thermostats for installation, service work, renovation and technical replacement. When selecting the right version, check power supply, switching contact, temperature range, installation position and compatibility with the heating system or control component.

Selecting a simple thermostat

A simple thermostat is intended for installations where clear and reliable basic control is required. The thermostat measures the room temperature and switches the installation when the set temperature is reached or falls below the setpoint. This type of thermostat is often used in simple heating controls, technical rooms, workshops and situations where extensive digital operation is not required.

When selecting a simple thermostat, power supply, switching contact, maximum switching capacity, temperature range and installation position are important. A version with 230VAC on/off control can be suitable for simple switching tasks, but must always be matched to the electrical connection and technical requirements of the installation.

Important when choosing simple thermostats

  • Check whether the thermostat is suitable for heating, cooling or switching only
  • Check the power supply, such as 230VAC or low voltage
  • Check the switching contact and maximum switching capacity
  • Choose a version that matches the heating system, pump, valve or control module
  • Check the setting range and accuracy of temperature measurement
  • Install the thermostat in a representative position in the room
  • Have electrical connection and inspection carried out by a qualified installer

Basic control within thermostat solutions

Simple thermostats are suitable when clear on/off control is sufficient. For more digital operation or wireless functions, a smart thermostat for heating and cooling may be a better fit. For technical measurement on pipes or surfaces, a contact thermostat for pipe temperature is often used. When multiple rooms or groups need to be controlled separately, zone control for heating zones is the more logical solution.

A simple thermostat must match the required switching function and the installation it is connected to. Always check whether the thermostat is suitable for the heat source, control component and electrical connection.

Frequently asked questions about simple thermostats

What is a simple thermostat used for?

A simple thermostat is used to switch a heating system or control component on or off based on temperature. It is suitable for basic control without extensive digital functions.

What does on/off control mean with a thermostat?

With on/off control, the thermostat switches the installation on when the temperature is too low and off when the set temperature has been reached. This is a simple and clear control method.

Can a simple thermostat be used with a heating system?

Yes, simple thermostats are often used with heating systems. Always check whether power supply, switching contact and maximum switching capacity match the boiler, pump or control module.

Where should a simple thermostat be installed?

Install the thermostat in a representative position in the room, not directly next to a window, door, radiator, heat source or in direct sunlight. This allows the room temperature to be measured more reliably.

When is a smart thermostat a better choice?

A smart thermostat is more interesting when wireless operation, digital settings, extended operation or linking multiple functions is required. For simple on/off control, a basic model is often sufficient.
