Hi
We moved into a new house on the 01 March. The heating system in place is a system boiler with a hot water tank in the airing cupboard ( boiler is a valliant Eco tec plus 618) . The previous owners whom we are in touch with have said it is cheaper to leave the hot water on constantly than setting it on a programme . I somehow dont see how this is correct . Surely we are unnecessarily heating water that we may not use. I am not sure if they had it in all the time as they had high demand - However i have noticed that the tank in the airing cupboard doesbt have a jacket on so it may be getting cold more quickly. So i guess my question is
1) what is more efficient?
2) would a cyclinder jacket help it retain heat ?
