Condensing boiler heating the entire house, or that plus a normal radiant gas fire in use in the living room, just to increase the living room temperature.
We normally just have the CH on alone set for 21C - I 'm just wondering if it might be worth running the gas fire on the colder nights. A gas fire has been there (not the same one) and completely unused for 35 years. Interior doors are normally left open, the stat is in the hall, close to the living room door. The house is very well insulated and even with sub-0C outside, the indoor temperature never fell below 17C with no heat input over during 10 hours night.
The radiant gas fire has only served so far as a back up for brief heating system failures.
