My room stat will call for heat until it's set temperature is reached. Reducing the water temperature in the radiators will mean the heating will be on for longer so no net saving. Am I missing something here. Are the laws of thermodynamics different for some systems?
Resistant perhaps but still succumb to acidic condensate Hence on average 10-12 year life expectancy for alloy heat exchangersIn that case, you shouldn't run the boiler at low temperature. Doing so can cause the flue gases to condense, and because they are acidic, they can corrode your heat exchanger. On newer boilers, the heat exchangers are made from metals which are resistant to the acidic condensate.
Yep aluminium heat exchangers are renowned for blocking up condense traps and pipe workResistant perhaps but still succumb to acidic condensate Hence on average 10-12 year life expectancy for alloy heat exchangers
20 degrees?
The advice is to reduce HW temperature of combi boilers. Nothing to do with CH temp.May be this would be better suited to the gas and heating forum but I thought I'd stick it here instead. Can someone explain how turning down the circulation water temperature on my system will save me money. My room stat will call for heat until it's set temperature is reached.

Someone's doing alright for themselves!![]()
Here ends any coherent discussion.![]()
The implication is that you are well off as you can afford to heat to 20 degrees given current prices.Here ends any coherent discussion.
And, or was a light-hearted ribbing, to boot.The implication is that you are well off as you can afford to heat to 20 degrees given current prices.

Do you not have TRVs? Or is it heat leaking from downstairs?just turned mine down mrs thought she was having a hot flush currently room at 22.5 so turned it down to 20 .
Still got window open upstairs as hate a warm bedroom
yep trvs on all the rads upstairs prob set about 3 but the window open is right by the bed and keeps bed nice and cold and once in bed the other window also gets opened regardless of how cold it is outside goose down and feather quilt is the order of the dayDo you not have TRVs? Or is it heat leaking from downstairs?
