Generally, for a comfortable and welcoming home that isn’t wasting energy, you should set a timer that ensures your heating is on when you need it.

 The timer works in conjunction with the thermostat that is a simple switch that turns the heating on and off depending on the room temperature.

Thermostats are commonly mistaken for a throttle, turned up high with the misconception that this will speed up the heating of your home. By correctly using a heated floor thermostat and setting it at the desired temperature, you avoid wasting energy by accidentally overheating your home.
