House taking 6 hours to heat up 4 degrees?

449 Posts


I am prefacing this by saying we are very lucky as we fixed our energy before the crisis
I think something is amiss with our heating - it's been on continually since 4am when it was 15.8 degrees and now it's only 18.2 degrees. Does this mean our rad temp is too low on the boiler? Or perhaps rads full of sludge? The boiler is 16 years old but is a Vaillant Ecotec in a 3 bed terraced 2 storey house.
Many thanks for any light shed!

Its -4 outside. It's going to be hard to heat the house at the moment.
