Just had a warmflow b70he 21kw oil fueled installed. I haven't had a condensing boiler before so please excuse the possible stupid questions.
I was under impression that when the heating is on you shouldn't here the boiler firing and there shouldn't be an almost continual flume of vapour out of the flue? That they should be maybe intermittent as these things are supposed to be more efficient?
Because at the moment it runs for about 10 mins, stops for 1-2 mins the fires up again. It will be like this all night. The old Reillo I had that the previous owner had never serviced and was in a bad state didn't even run as much.
The rads all have tvrs, there upstairs and downstairs thermostat set to 16 and 21 respectively.
5 double rads, 4 singles and 3 tiny singles in the ensuites/laundry.
All tvrs are set to 3, except the living room thermostat at 5 and bathroom at 4. The micro rads set at 2.
If anyone can reassure me that it sounds perfectly normal? The house actually feels colder than with the old boiler and I'm a bit reluctant to put thermostat up at the moment when it sounds like it's already firing constantly as it is.
Is it possible that this boiler isn't enough for the rads required?
