    Vaillant d.0

    Hello, having a bit of a 'mare with this one, so though I would seek out some help. I have a Vaillant ecotech pure installed recently (the version that fits in a cupboard) around 24kw I think. It seems to be using a huge amount of energy but never quite getting the rooms warm. I'm looking into...
