ᐅ Setting the underfloor heating – desired temperature preference

Hello dear forum,

I have the following problem in my new build.
My temperature sensor is turned all the way down.
However, I can’t tolerate the temperature in the living/dining room.
It is 25 degrees Celsius (77°F) here. How can that be?
I have already lowered the desired temperature setting on my boiler, but it doesn’t help.

I have one heating circuit for the kitchen, one for the dining room, and two for the living room. All open to one room. Is it correct or possible that all heating circuits are controlled by a single temperature sensor, or did they forget to install some?

Thank you very much!

Your thermometer isn’t in direct sunlight and is definitely showing the correct temperature? I’ve also handled several portable ones that each showed different readings in the same environment.

It depends on the room thermostat. Sometimes they are more like rough estimates.

There might be something affecting it.

As you can see, there are plenty of potential sources of error.
It’s not in direct sunlight. I have three thermometers here, all showing around 25°C (77°F) with a variance of ±0.2°C (±0.4°F).

If I set the room temperature (RT) to about 3, the motors run, but after 24 hours the floor still feels very cold.


Then it is working as intended. You can no longer influence the floor temperature if you want to control the room temperature.

But if the room thermostat is set to level 4 and the living room temperature is 25°C (77°F), shouldn’t the actuator be closed?

No. That’s not necessarily true. These things are very inaccurate, as has already been mentioned.

And is the bathroom now exactly right?
