[QUOTE="gordy71, post: 190902, member: 4612"] Having a room thermostat would greatly improve efficiency. Do you have a cylinder thermostat? Is your programmer 2 channel, with the ability to time the c/h and h/w separately? You are best off putting the thermostat in the coolest room in the house, normally the hallway and not a room with trvs as the room stat may never reach temperature. Also set your boiler stat at 3/4 maximum setting. The theory behind this is that the hotter the internal temp of the boiler is, the hotter the rads, the sooner the stat will cut, and higher residual temperature will keep the rooms warmer for longer. So i would say your first port of call would be the control upgrade and maybe new insulated cylinder. Its worth looking into government grants if you do ever need your boiler replacing. I think a company called Eaga still have the contract for all the boiler installs. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
