hi,
we have a tharmostat and that's the best thing ever;
we have it set up for day time and a night time; day time is set for 20 degrees and night time for 16 (I think);
it turn on and off the boiler itself to keep the set tempeature all the time;
so we have very comfortable temp all the time;
we had a timer before but never ever again;

it's much more efficient than turning the heating only for let's say 3 hours;
when the rooms are cold it uses more energy (gas, oil) to heat it up;

and it's a lot better for comfort of living;

does your work to set the temperature or just to turn on or off the heating?

we have the gas heating so it might be difference with oil heating; I'm not an expert; but just to say that over the summer months when we didn't heat at all, just use gas cooker my bill was €24 (used a lot)
I may have a look for the bills for las winter if that'll help;

I hope I helped a bit;
