What a thermostat does?

A thermostat in general, is an assembly that measures temperature (if it measures room temperature then we are talking about a room thermostat) and trips an electrical contact on and off comparing measured temperature to a temperature setpoint (the temperature setting we set on the thermostat by means of a rotating knob or a digital screen and buttons. In an hvac system, we install a thermostat inside the room in which we want to control temperature and we set the desired temperature. If current temperature is below setpoint, then the contact trips, and the heating system heats the room. When measured temperature reaches the desired setpoint, thermostat trips off and the heating system will stop giving energy to the room. By starting and stoping the heating system, we achieve to set room temperature within some limits.

Is it possible to change the temperature of a water boiler the safe setting is 120 degrees and I want to know if a water boiler can be changed to that setting?

Boiler should be set at max temperature of 180 degrees for proper heating temperature. 120 degrees is temperature for domestic hot water, not heating temperature. Yes, to answer question, but not recommended.Improved answer. -If you are referring to the hot water heater that gives water to your hot faucets this is not generally known as a 'boiler' (a boiler is for hydronic heating) Your faucet supply can be turned down to any setting between 110 and 160. Normal setting is 130-135. with small children it should be 120. - on most heaters there is an adjustment knob on the gas regulator or the lower electric element . It's well marked and easy to adjust.
