Penumbra
I am not sure whether this post is appropriate for this forum so if not, please accept my apologies.
I live in a flat which has no central heating and is electricity only and I am looking to optimise my energy usage regarding the boiler.
The boiler is a Megaflo 145DD and the current setup appears to be that the immersion is always switched on (assuming that's what the mains switch next to boiler is). The timer (Grassun) is also fixed on. When I moved in, I vaguely remember someone mentioning that given the type of boiler that this is an efficient set up as once the water gets to a certain temperature in the boiler then it stops heating it. This was in comparison to letting the water cool down and having to heat it all up again.
Can anybody confirm that this is a relatively efficient setup or suggest any improvement?
Thanks.
