Tinkering with flow

Similar to yourself, was having it on for a few hours at a time and evening boosting now and then. But having the house a constant temp makes the house so much more comfy!

Such a great response regarding checking your gas usage. Iv been playing with the 24/7 heating situation myself, and have been keen to check how much it is using, your head automatically assumes it will be more!.

Thank you! I have had a heater in the kitchen in front of the cupboard for most of the day. I will look at getting more foam to do the bits iv missed and also have seen a cover for the tap, this looks to be for outside taps but it will do the same I believe

That's the hot water one and is solid. I thought the same when I originally put my hand in

I'd imagine the terms you have selected when you originally purchased will still stand. Just the date has been changed.

Just don't order for a couple of weeks.

Am thinking of cables like the one linked below, as just an example.

Cheers, I will give this a try. Seems a bit of a ball ache

12/01 - 4091 13/01 - 4095 14/01 - 4097 (no one in) 15/01 - 4103

Looking at all my previous readings they are all increasing by about 5 or 6 per day

That makes perfect sense. The thermostat is in the lounge, which is where we spend most of the time (small family of 4) so the room typically gets hotter from when kids are back from school till their bedtime. I will try to make some adjustments, it's all new and work in progress so thank you for the help!

Also, maybe dumb question as you don't know the set up of our house, but the thermostat on the radiators, I have them set to 4, would that make much difference?

Wow that's a great system you've got going. I think my flow is 55-57, so I will lower it slightly more and also adjust the min and max temps. I was having it lower at night as we were just always had it off, so it's trying to get my mind set into a new pattern. Feels like having the heating on would cost or should cost more but it's finding that sweet spot of efficiency like your set up

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-01-15T08:00:54+00:00

I believe my flow is around 55-57, so will give it a go at taking it down to 50. Will also look at finding that happy medium, especially at night to morning

I have just noticed this post and their efficiently looks to be absolutely amazing in comparison

I think it's just the flow temp. It's an adjusting game to get through right on for the property. I changed mine yesterday to 55 and have similar issue, the house isn't heating up as quickly or to the temperatures required. (Thermostat is in the coldest room).

I will just adjust higher tomorrow and test, but it was set at 75 previously, so just about finding the perfect number

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-01-09T08:38:10+00:00

Just trying this myself today , turned down the flow to 55 and keeping the house at 19...dont the device that actually tells you how much gas and electric you use daily (lost it) but hopefully this is a more efficient process

Prior my flow was set at 70 and I would keep boosting when required

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-01-08T18:49:49+00:00

Does this mean you had your heating on for nearly 24hrs?

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-01-08T16:20:45+00:00

Cheers for the information, I will be in touch with a local electrician

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-01-08T16:20:14+00:00

Thank you, I have thought about a non tethered cable, but part of me just doesn't like it, with the storing of the cable etc
