Have a new condensing CH boiler running 12 radiators, 11 with thermostats. The one without is in the hall near the main thermostat mounted on the wall, set at 23 degrees. The boiler has a separate integral water temperature control, currently set to a 70 degrees maximum.
If all radiator thermostats are opened fully, there is insufficient pressure to heat all effectively - the two in the lounge are on the end of a longish loop. The house is currently only just warm enough.
If I increase the water temperature, surely this will make no difference to the room heating, as this is controlled by radiator thermostats. If I increase the main thermostat, the same is true (but the hall would be nice and warm!) However, both options will presumably burn more expensive gas.
What's the point of the boiler control? What's the best option for maximising heat?
