Hi.
Would really appreciate some more opinions on this..
I have a veissman Vitodens 100 boiler that was fitted about two years ago. I've felt that recently it wasn't really getting the water hot enough in the bathroom and it's taking an age to heat the house.
Today has been a pretty mild day (approx 12 degrees outside). We had the thermostat set to 23 from 5pm onwards. It's now 8:45 and it is reporting the room temperature as 18.5. I'm thinking that it should know it has some work to do to get upto the required temperature but none of the rads are anywhere near too hot to touch. Looking at the panel on the boiler it's only showing level 1 (of 5 for gas flow). Am I right in thinking the boiler should be working hard until it gets to the temperature we want and then just working to top up when needed?
We ran a bath last night and although the water was warm, it was never 'hot'. Am pretty sure I don't have asbestos hands Any help or advice would be appreciated.
PS> I contacted the guy who fitted this boiler at the beginning of winter and he told me that modern day boilers should be left on most of the day to heat the house to the required temperature. Was I fobbed off here?
Any help or advice appreciated.
