Hi All ,
I'm new to this , so apologies if already been covered .
Have a Potterton Suprima 70L boiler which has always run at max temp using single black dial inside control panel as originally advised by fitter .
Due to the cost of living / fuel crisis can I save money by turning down somewhat , and what is the ultimum recommended setting for both efficiency and cost ?
From what I've read, it's minimum setting is 57°c and it's max 82°c.
Govt are advising turning boiler temperature down to 60°c to save money ? If I turn dial down I'm guessing it will take longer to heat radiators or they won't be as hot , so it seems I may lose effectiveness of heating our very cold/damp house in order to possibly save a few quid ? On the other hand , is running it on max just wasting unnecessary gas which escapes from the outside flue as its a conventional non condensing boiler ?
The water temp is set at 60°c as far as I know off a seperate controller on side of water tank .
Any advice gratefully received.
Many thanks .
