Hi heating experts and enthusiasts,
With modern boilers there seems to be lots of advice on how to set the controls, in terms of their temperature settings.
But what about an old boiler that just has a single knob (presumably some kind of thermostat for the boiler itself)?
I have a Prima Potterton which is as old as the house itself, so about 25 years. I have HW and CH on Y-plan, open-vented cylinder, and F+E tank. In the first lockdown I also replaced the controller with a Drayton Wiser 2 channel (plus its remote room stat), which I love.
So the boiler can be set between 0 (off) and 6. I have it set at about 3.5. But what is optimal?
Cheers,
Andy
