i have just moved into a 1960's bungalow. the central heating is pretty basic as i see it but effective..here is some data
Potterton kingfisher boiler CF60 CAT 1N
AMFVenner dial timer and manual control switching giving hot water and heating, timed/off/constant
No indirect cylinder thermostat to control hot water temperature
Hot water temp controlled by setting boiler thermostat to low
When central heating is required the hot water must be on as well for similar timings
All radiators except bathroom have thermostatic valves
With the gravity hot water system on the radiators will also heat up if the valves are set to high numbers, and the bathroom always.
Spare tappings on boiler heat exchanger not used.
i am quite happy at present with the performance but see that some upgrading might be advantageous..
adding a cylinder thermostat and renewing the controls...but keeping the simplicity of the pipework
grateful for any comments and advice
