I'd say for your own safety get your system serviced even if it is claimed it has been recently.
The engineer will check how it has been installed and likely advise how or the best way to use it.
TBH i found the Hive (first version) system excellent, on a condensation boiler. We only heat in gas, have electic double oven and induction hob (superb).
We 'budget pay' duel fuel @ £82.00 pcm (EDF) for us this works out fine.
The Hive reports our average monthly temperature which is 1 or 2 degree lower than average.
My wife part times 3 days a week, and my hours are erratic (being self employed small buisness from home).
I await to be shot down, but i was advised in a previous town house the thermastat should be in your comfort area i.e. the Lounge, which makes good sense to me, then by trial an error set your lounge radiator state low but others to what you want.
Idea being if you have your lounge radiator stat is at 20, it will turn the wall stat off well before your other rooms can get to a warm temperature, so make this state lower, then heat from the hall rad etc help turn off the lounge wall stat.
Rooms that are not used much are left very low to stop freezing.
Recommend cavity insulation and good loft insulation. |
