We have thermostat in the hall and we are in house almost all day every day so what setting should I set the oil boiler to?
I set it to the lowest as the heating always run all day and also that we have the solid walls with single glazed windows. But I was thinking that maybe it is best to set the boiler to high or medium (maybe at its most efficient setting?) and have it controlled by thermosat in the hall?
I was thinking that the oil boiler at its lowest setting, may not run efficiently because it would stop running after a short time heating up and then to resume again a short time later rather than continuing running at max setting and let it run entirely by thermosat in the hall? I may be wrong in my understanding with the running of oil boilers but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Due to the recent weather (In Northern Ireland), I have just used up almost 1000 litres of oil in under 3 months from September although we live in quite large detached house in remote area. I don't know if that consumption is normal but any improvement would be a welcome!
