    vaillent echtech 837 takes ages to get to 65c

    If i change it to 22kw or even 28kw it takes the same amount of time to reach 65c but uses even more gas. The house is gettting hot quite fast. The rads have been properly sized and come to 17kw. To me it seems a lot of gas to use especially that my ave useage for this time last year was 5...

    vaillent ecotech 837 using lots of gas and doesnt heat house

    What would you recommend i put the ch temp at the boiler on i think at the mo its 62c. If thats higher maybe the rads would get hotter and raise the temp above 20c

    vaillent ecotech 837 using lots of gas and doesnt heat house

    the meter is metric and the rating we got for the hw was 0.128 over 2 mins. i meant by the modulating time it burns gas for the first 40 mins then uses the water vapour to keep the heating on for another 20mins before using gas again. i changed this to 30mins rather than the pre set 20 mins so...
