Gas bolier thermostat - which setting???
Hi all, hopefully this is the right place to ask:D.
I have moved into a new house with a sealed CH system. The boiler is a Baxi 2 Solo 35 (I think). There is a knob numbered between 1 - 6 which I believe is the boilers own thermostat. I have timer controls for CH/HW, a room thermostat in the hallway, and TRV's on all radiators - So what's the use of the bolier thermostat?
Sorry if this is a simple question!

The boiler thermostat controls the temperature of the water the boiler produces.
This would be a lot higher than the temperature of any room
The hotter the water in the radiators, the quicker the room will reach the desired temperature."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

Would it therefore be better to have the boiler on a low setting if the radiators would also be at a low setting?0 -
Boiler temperature should be high enough so you can't hold your hand on the radiators for more than a few seconds.That gum you like is coming back in style.0
