Weathers warmed up and I’ve done some maintenance on the heating system to prepare it to be off till autumn. It’s a heat only, indirectly unvented, mostly with Wiser TRVs. I’ve put this checklist together but please advise if there’s anything else added. Also, I like most people wanting to save energy, adjusted the cylinder thermostat this winter down and ran the boiler flow at 55C. Thinking of upping it to 62C till winter again. Thoughts?
1. Clean magnetic filter
2. pour in remaining quarter bottle of inhibitor
3. bleed rads
4. top up water pressure if required
5. recharge air gap in megaflo
6. check the prv strainer
7. open all radiator TRVs and run both heating and hot water at the same time to diffuse inhibitor into system
8. set wiser programming to away mode.
9. fully open all manual TRVs (so valve pins dot get stuck like last year)
Last as mentioned above, I’m wondering if I should adjust boiler flow temp up, since it’s just for the hot water heating and I don’t think there’s energy savings to just boil water at a low temp.
