Boiler holiday mode
Options
Just trying to work out how to use the Holiday Mode on our newish boiler.
Turning the mode on/off is fine, it's more how or if we need to set the timer controls to make most use of it.
As far as we can tell Holiday Mode kicks the boiler into "low power" mode so that it doesn't kick out full heat whilst we are away - but just enough to keep the house frost free.
We're thinking that in that case we probably need to leave the programmer on in order to keep the rads ticking over, overwise the house temp might dip low enough to freeze...
Any further info?
