Combi boiler
I live in a well insulated one bedroom upstairs flat and I had a combi boiler installed towards the end of last winter to run my central heating so I didn’t have time to work out the most economical way to use it.
According to age concern the optimum temperature for someone of my age is 21c in the living room and at least 18c in the bedroom I noticed last winter that once it reached 21c it then switched off and it held the heat for hours then once the temperature dropped the combi kicked in again so my question is which is the most economical way to use a Combi. Thanks

Like any CH boiler, the most economical way to operate it is to have the rooms at as low a temperature as you find comfortable.0

And to run the boiler for the least amount of time-the more it's on, the more it costs. You do not save money by 'maintaining an even temp', (even though it might be more comfortable to do so). Leaving the heating on 24/7 will cost you much more.
A combi boiler is no different in this respect to any other type of heating-I'm not clear what you had before.
The 'optimum' temp is the temp you are comfortable with, not the one that someone else suggests.No free lunch, and no free laptop

They do these in Menkind stores if you have one locally. They are a very soft fibre material which gets very hot very quickly!OP what heating controls do you have, TRVs, Programmable room stat etc.

I tried on one that I bought for my brother, and if I had one myself I cant imagine I would need heating at all.
