Installing and adjusting a thermostat in Amsterdam
Do you want a new or smart thermostat, but don't know which one fits your boiler? Not every thermostat works with every appliance. We first check the brand, type, and existing connection, and then install and configure the correct thermostat.
Not every thermostat fits every central heating boiler.
This is where things most often go wrong during a thermostat replacement. A smart thermostat is purchased based on reviews or appearance, and only when connecting it does it turn out that the boiler is incompatible with it or that the existing wiring is unsuitable.
We therefore first check three things: the brand and type of your central heating boiler, the existing connection, and the control system currently installed. Based on this, we recommend a thermostat that is technically suitable and matches your intended use.
Which thermostats we install
We install and replace various types of thermostats:
- Standard room thermostat. Easy to use, no settings required.
- Programmable thermostat. You set a heating schedule per day or part of the day.
- Smart thermostat. Controllable via an app on your phone. You adjust the temperature remotely and set heating schedules.
Which of the three suits you best depends on your boiler and how you use the heating. A smart thermostat is not automatically the best choice, especially if you have a fixed daily routine.
This is how the installation proceeds
Step 1: We check what is currently hanging: Make and type of central heating boiler, existing connection, and control system. This determines what is possible.
Step 2: You receive advice that is technically correct. A thermostat that suits your boiler and what you want to do with it.
Step 3: Connect and adjust to the installation. The old thermostat is removed, the new one is connected and adjusted to the central heating boiler and the installation.
Step 4: With a smart thermostat, we also help with the rest. The basic settings, the internet connection, and control via your phone. We won't leave until it works.

Great service! I had an issue with my boiler after the water pressure dropped too low. Ben quickly arranged a visit, and Akram arrived the same evening. Akram was very polite, understanding, and professional, and resolved the issue in no time. I really appreciated how smoothly and efficiently everything was handled. Highly recommended!
Excellent service, both central heating maintenance and cleaning of all ventilation ducts.
Why tuning is the real deal
Hanging and connecting a thermostat is the easy half. Adjusting it to your boiler and installation determines whether the device actually does what it is supposed to do.
An incorrectly connected or poorly adjusted thermostat causes the central heating boiler to switch on unnecessarily often, prevents your home from becoming comfortably warm, or results in higher energy consumption than necessary. This is not a defect for which you receive an error message. It is a situation that can continue for years without anyone noticing.
We adjust the thermostat to the appliance and the installation, so that both are matched.
Frequently asked questions about installing a thermostat
With a simple replacement of the same type, this often works. Things go wrong when you switch to a different type or brand, because then the thermostat must match your boiler and the existing control system. If this is not correct, it will not work or will not work properly, and you sometimes only notice this after weeks.
That depends on the brand and type of your central heating boiler, the existing connection, and how you use the heating. We check these three points and advise based on them.
The location determines what the thermostat measures and therefore how the boiler responds. A thermostat mounted above a radiator, in a draft, or in direct sunlight gives an inaccurate picture of the actual temperature in the home. During installation, we check whether the current location is suitable.
Yes. With a smart thermostat, we help with the basic settings, the internet connection, and operation via telephone. We won't leave you with a box and a manual.
That is one of the most common reasons why people call us. Usually, the unit is not defective, but it is incompatible with the boiler or is not properly adjusted to the installation. This can be remedied, and in any case, you will find out what the problem is before you buy another thermostat.
How much does it cost to have a thermostat installed?
The costs depend on the type of thermostat, the existing connection, and whether wiring needs to be modified. You will be informed of the cost in advance, and you will pay what has been agreed upon.
