How to choose the right timer or thermostat

Match the control to the heating type you're running. Floor heating generally needs a thermostat with a floor sensor so it can hold a set temperature rather than just running for a fixed time, which matters for both comfort and protecting sensitive flooring like timber. A basic manual dial thermostat covers simple on/off control, while a digital or Wi-Fi model adds scheduling and, for Wi-Fi units, app control from your phone.

For heated towel rails, a dedicated towel rail timer is usually the simplest option. If you're wiring a higher-load heating circuit, check whether a contactor or relay is needed to safely switch that load, and consider a DIN rail model if it needs to sit in the switchboard rather than on a wall. All of these are mains-wired electrical components and must be installed by a licensed electrician.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a thermostat for my floor heating, or can I just use a timer?
A thermostat with a floor sensor is strongly recommended for floor heating so the system maintains a set temperature rather than just running for a fixed period regardless of how warm the floor already is. A basic timer alone won't protect against overheating.
What's the benefit of a Wi-Fi programmable thermostat?
A Wi-Fi thermostat lets you set schedules and adjust temperature from a phone app, useful for turning heating on before you get home or adjusting settings without going to the switchboard or wall unit.
Can one thermostat control both floor heating and a heated towel rail?
Generally each heating element needs its own dedicated thermostat or timer rated for that load, though a heated towel rail can be run from a purpose-built towel rail timer separate from the floor heating thermostat. Check load ratings before wiring multiple elements to one control.
Do timers and thermostats need to be installed by an electrician?
Yes, these are mains-wired electrical controls and must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
