I have recently moved to a new build house with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor. The bedroom rads have a timer and there is a separate timer for the towel rails. The UF heating is controlled by individual Heatmiser V2 stats which are connected to a Heatmiser U8 wiring centre.
I want to run the system as efficiently and economically as possible.
The UH8 user guide refers to a UFH/RAD switch but, I cannot find the switch on the outside of the box; I assume this is normally set at installation (currently it must be set to UFH because the ufh is operating) but it occurs to me that it would be a good idea to select RAD during the summer months when heating is not required? Otherwise, I believe it would be necessary to set each room stat at minimum but, hot water would unnecessarily still be fed to the manifold?
One other issue is that the domestic hot water is dangerously hot, the boiler is set to 72°C and the hot water cylinder temp is set to 65°.
I would be grateful for comments re. the above and advice for setting the system for greatest efficiency.
Thanks
