    Central heating cleaner

    Can leaving cleaner in for too long before a boiler swap cause issues? The ideal boilers cleanser says leave in for between 1 hour and a week. Would leaving in for a couple of weeks really cause issues?

    My central heating sounds like it is on when it isn’t

    What temperature is best to set the flow too on a central heating boiler? Setting it at a slightly lower value can make the boiler condense more?
