Although the shift in the controls market has been much more towards digital/programmable thermostats, the basic dial models do still have their place.

As mentioned above, for maximum efficiency, we would always recommend that a dial thermostat is used in conjunction with a system timeclock, to ensure that the heating system is regulated and operates at required times.
