Bosch EasyControl shows much higher room temperature than actual, so heating rarely comes on.

Possible Causes

Installed above radiator or heat source, Direct sunlight on thermostat, Warm air from appliances or chimney behind wall, Sensor calibration drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before removing the unit from the wall.

  • 1. Check surroundings: Ensure there is no radiator, TV, or other heat source directly below or behind the EasyControl.
  • 2. Avoid sunlight: If the unit is in direct sun for long periods, fit a shade or relocate it.
  • 3. Seal warm air paths: Seal any gaps in the wall that may allow warm air from flues or appliances to reach the back of the thermostat.
  • 4. Minor offset: Apply a small negative temperature offset if the difference is small and consistent.

Professional help: Persistent large over-reading suggests a faulty sensor; replace the EasyControl.
