I have a vaillant Ecotec 18 pumped open vent Y Plan with room stat and cylinder stat.
The room Stat is in the lounge. Is this ideal or should it be in the hall ? (I hardly ever use the lounge fire).
All rads have thermostatic valves. Should I replace the lounge valves with non-thermostat valves as I've heard that the room with the stat should not have TRV's.
What is a reasonable temperature setting. At present the boiler is set at 75 and the tank at 70.
Is it better to just set the boiler at maximum (75) all the time and avoid any messing around ? Won't this just mean that it will reach the thermostat settings quicker or is it better to run it a bit lower (but over say 65 so I've got enough hot water).
