If you have a very well insulated house, so the temperature drops very slowly, the cycle time could be half an hour or more, with the boiler lighting for only a few minutes.
You will find that, once the house is up to temperature, the radiators will feel relatively cool as they do not have to produce full output to maintain the room temperature, just enough to top it up when the temperature has dropped half a degree.
Hello,
Just trying to get my head around this, I live in an old house that is not particularly well insulated as it is over 100 years old. Is it better to set the optimisation of the programmer for more or less boiler cycles per hour?
Many thanks in advance
Paul
