First time poster long time reader!
System is a Ideal Elan boiler
11 rads 3 bed house
Grundfoss pump
3 way diverter
Room stat is Honeywell set at 23 degrees
Cylinder stat is set to 60 degrees C
Don't really know much about CH so the above is the limit of what I have picked up from this site that I may need to assist with the problem
If I set the boiler thermostat to low (summer setting) the rads get very hot & the system seems to heat the house very well BUT the boiler is very noisy after a time (pump set at 2 or 3) and I am worried because it sounds like I have started up an aircraft in my kitchen
I have heard of Fernox boiler noise reducer, would this work?
If I set the boiler thermostat to high (winter setting) the rads take ages to get hot & although after a time the house does get warm it never gets warm enough for the wife! Pump set at 2 or 3 but boiler becomes very noisy on 2 so I have left it on 3 although the pump is noisy
The boiler constantly fires up for a few minutes then goes off for a few minutes then fires up again, this goes on all night
Do you think the second option is correct & if it is how can I get the system to warm the house quicker & more importantly get it warmer
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
