Good afternoon all.
Probably a "how long is a piece of string?" type question, but what is the general consensus on the best setting for your hot water?
As a working family (no one generally in during the day), is it best to be on:
o "twice" setting for water in the morning and evening?
o Or more cost effective to set to "once" as cheaper to maintain temperature during the day than to heat again in the evening?
o Or on permenantly so just maintain temp all the time?
Got to thinking about this as the downstairs of my house is always cold. Last night for example, thermostat on 22 degrees, but it never reached that temperature all evening (LED was on permenantly 17:00 to 23:00). All radiators are very hot to touch, but was thinking maybe it would heat the house quicker if the hot water was already hot and therefore more water going through central heating?
Thanks in advance.
