Hello, im new to this site so I apologise if this has been asked a lot before. I have a 14 year old house which has a Potterton EP2002 boiler, last year we had the immersion tank replaced because it kept leaking. We have lived here 3 years and have not had the boiler serviced. Underneath the boiler is a programme unit where I can set a time for the CH and HW to come on, or switch either to once etc.
My question is, should my immersion heater be on all the time? I understand the tank is used to store water which would be heated up with the immersion. What i have been doing is switching the boiler on when i have a bath or need hot water.
I know there may be a really obvious answer to this question but for some reason I just cant get my head round it.
Immersion used for constant hot water?
Boiler used when hot water is needed upon demand?
