Hi

i have a back boiler and my one thermostat is on 15 degrees. The radiator settings are on 2 or 3 in the lounge. and about 2 in the bedroom, i'm trying not to spend a fortune onmy heating.

would turning the thermostat up and all the radiator settings to level 1 make any difference.

I dont know the right way to set the thermostat and the individual radiator settings i live in two bed flat but do not heat the other bedroom.

Any ideas on this?

You should set your room stat to give a comfortable temperature in your main room.

You should not have a TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) on the rad in room/area which has the room stat - if you do it should be set to max i.e. 5.

The TRV's simply prevent energy being wasted in those rooms by cutting the heat when the preset temp is achieved.
