What temperature is youre living room

EssexHebridean

Front room currently at 17.3° here after “someone” (MrEH!) left the door to the hallway open when we popped out earlier. Sigh. 

Bedroom was at 15.1 * when I woke up  - that started increasing fairly quickly once the hallway storage heater kicked in at around 7.45am though. 

We are forecast to:have a fairly rapid temperature increase overnight tonight - I will probably leave the heaters set as they are now (front room is just below maximum input, hallway one is set with an output temp of 23°) and revisit tomorrow when we see how warm or cold it really is how I set them for the rest of the week. The Quantum will naturally charge less if it feels it needs less anyway.

I’m impressed with a system that sounds identical to mine having 65° flow and 48° return,  I can’t get my return under 50°,  flow temp is only 60° too.   

We have 1970’s radiators mainly,  only 3 new ones have fins.  

Anything over 20° in my living room is too warm,  trvs are on 4, Thermostat set to 18.5 and has an over run of 0.5. 

Upstairs won’t get above 18° without turning up flow temp. 

Going to put in extra loft insulation.

A TRV on 4 could be around 25C

I got fortunate with my testing 24/7 this week. Someone said earlier here or another thread it takes days to heat up a 4 tonne house.
I got what i think or thought was a chill on friday. The nights have been miserable getting up shaking to feel warm. And so was rest of weekend. Would have been far worse if house was colder.
Now gone into chest. Covid tests negative.

During the mornings and weekends it's about 18.3C, during the night set to 15.2C for the duration of this cold snap. Just changed it to 15C now that's its getting warmer. Raised it a bit for the cold snap mainly because it would otherwise take too long to heat back up during the day. Might drop it to 14.5C tomorrow. 

When the fire is on, I like to heat it to about 22C.

Lounge thermostat controls heating. Set for 16 day and night, then 18 from sunset to 10:30pm. Have added digital temp probes to boiler so can now see flow and return temps, allowing me to have the flow at 70 to ensure hot water tank heats up without taking an eternity and the return is always below 50, around 40-46 as the flow spends ages in the 60-66 zone. When first measured the flow/return delta was only 10-15 degrees, so reduced pump speed one setting and a delta of 20deg C obtained. Hot water tank set to 57, again with therm to give visual indication.

Could you share a link to the digital temp probes? I tried cheapo infrared thermometer gun and it wasn't very accurate

My Breath-o-meter is -ve in the lounge but +ve in the bathroom which makes the tea-powered visits somewhat brief.

EH - seems you are mixing °F and °C in your above post!

I manually switch the heating off when the living room gets to 15.5 currently. That's way warm (I have 2 jumpers on so far this winter evenings and I do 30mins on the crosstrainer daily after work which warms me up). During the cold snap I've returned from work greeted by it being 10-10.5 so takes my boiler 2-3hrs to reach my target. No point keeping it on longer - I've set the Nest to 19.5 - as I'll be in bed an hour or two later anyway...

Last year I routinely let it hit 19.5 but with the 4x gas increase (was on a super cheap fix with Utility Point) I'm more mindful now and I'm still comfy and warm at 15.5 with the jumpers

Mine seems ok but i hold the button on for at least 5sec to let it adjust and get a steady read, or i just hold it while moving around a wall, As a poor mans infrared camera.

From the mild weather overnight it's a barmy 21.5oC

After the last 12 days that is very welcome
