    room influence

    It seems that the boiler has a mind of it's own, coming on at anytime of day or night, rads are only warm not hot, when the timer asks for comfort temperature then the rads are hot, the pump seems to run all day. Am I right in thinking that there are two setting fighting against each other??

    Update!!!! Looks like the Potterton Paramount Two is the same boiler http://www.pottertoncommercial.co.uk/products_details.php?product=paramount_two So back to the original question, should the "Room Influence" be set to 100% so the room stat can control the boiler?

    Already looked at these from Discreteheat, all very nice but seems to me that most of the heat would be taken by the wall to which they are attached, correct me if Im wrong!!!!
