Hi - we have a gas boiler (about 2 years old - Worcester Greenstar). The house is 2 years old.
It runs the hot water and water-UFH throughout the house.
As the weather’s become colder I’ve noticed that the thermostats in the rooms struggle to ever reach 20 degrees even though the UFH is calling for heat (and the boiler is responding) for 18 hours a day. Normally the rooms are at 17-18 degrees. It a new-build house so well insulated.
The floors are warmish to the touch mostly but I wonder if there’s a problem.
I checked the boiler (see pic) and pressure gauge is at zero. In a previous house with a sealed system and normal rads, I knew to keep the pressure above 1 bar otherwise the boiler would cut out, but is the same true with UFH? Should the pressure be higher and would it make any difference (it hasn’t cut out at zero bar).
Also, the central heating temp control on the boiler could be set higher but again, would this make any difference (sorry if that’s a silly question)?
Many thanks
