Hi
I recently had a new combi boiler fitted. I replaced the old gravity fed standard boiler and cylinder. My old boiler used to be at about 58/60 degrees and would be fine. The boy who fitted the combi set it at 70 and set that would be fine. I noticed the radiators were extremely hot to touch at the normal settings I had them all it, so I turned it down to 60. That seemed to be too cold and was taking too long to heat so I cranked it up to 68. That was too hot so am back down to 66. Does this sound about right? Ive just spent the past week balancing them and tweaking every day. Think its good now although they heat up at the top first before the bottom. My TRV’s are plumbed in at the top of the rads so Im guessing thats why?
