Apologies if this is in the wrong place...!Could anyone give me a numpty's guide to setting rads etc?
So we have a new (ish - 2yrs) condensing combi, a wireless programmable room thermo in the living room, and TRVs on each rad in the house.
How should I set things up for max efficiency? eg:
should the boiler be as hot as possible and then we just tweak the TRVs? Or otherwise?
should I have the TRV in the living room set at highest, and then tweak the other rooms accordingly? If the living room is quite warm but the other rooms not warm enough then something needs to change because (from my understanding) the system fires and shuts off according to the temp in the living room only, right? Whereas TRVs in each room only 'kick in' if the boiler is firing but that particular room is cooler than it should be? So if the living room gets to temperature no other room will keep heating? So do I have the living room trv high and the others somewhat lower?
Thanks!!
