Hello Kenny
I have an early (1999) Worcester 12/14 Heatslave oil fired combi.
On that one, the heatslave tank for domestic water is always kept hot and ready for use.....I actually find this rather good because the system can actually supply 2 showers at the same time, which a 'normal' combi could have problems with. There isn't any way of altering this, its part of the heatslave system.
The heatslave tank is well insulated, and the boiler doesn't cut in often to keep it hot so I think this is actually a saving at the end of the day.
The only moan I have with it is that a flow switch always tries to start up the burner, even if only a pint of water is drawn off - this I can live with!
This boiler is a non condensing type. Yours is, but this has no relevance to the heatslave system.
Regards
John
