Most Efficient Way to run my Boiler in the Winter

Hi All,

Can someone give me some advice.

I live in a reasonably well sized three bedroomed mid-terrace and I have a Conventional Worcester 9/14 CBi boiler (80.5% efficiency) which is nearly 5 years old.

Up until this winter I've always had the boiler set on a timer to heat the house in the morning and the evening. This usually means the boiler has to be turned on high and the radiators too.

However, on someones advice, this winter I've had the heating turned on all the time, but with it set very low and thermostats on the radiators turned down really low unless we need them.

Can anyone tell me which is the best way out of those two to heat my house?

Thanks,

Richard
