Hi,
I've recently bought and fitted a Honeywell CM927 wireless programable thermostat (that i'm very happy with by the way!).
I have a standard open vented gravity system (Y-Plan) with an old back boiler in the living room.
I'm just experimenting to find what the most efficient settings of the thermostat are and whether it's best to leave the heating on all day/night at lower temperatures or leave off when not needed.
I currently have the boiler on setting 3 of 5 (not sure of the temps - old baxi back boiler!), I have all the TRV's set at number 3 (about 21 degrees I think) except the hall when I don't have a TRV (as I have the thermostat there! and I have the hot water tank stat set at 60 degrees.
What do you think would be the best settings on the programable thermostat considering I'm generally up at 6:30 and off to work by 8am returning at 6pm and off to bed about 11ish? Also so I have the optimisation on or off (I have it on at the moment and it seems to work very well - just not sure if it's costing me a lot more money!)
Thanks for any opinions!
