Circulation pump may be set too high or emitters are undersized for the low flow temperature. Ask the installer to check pump speed.

Lower the tank target to 45–48 °C, heat water once a day in the warmest hours, and disable weekly legionella cycles unless required.
valueReaching the fleet’s January median (3.69) would have saved about £4 in this window at 0.25 GBP/kWh. An estimate, not a promise.

Each point is one hour of space heating. Lower and flatter is cheaper; well-set radiator systems sit around 35–42 °C at 0 °C outside.
Public system published by its owner on HeatpumpMonitor.org. Cycling (starts per hour) comes from the site’s 365-day statistic. Findings use installer rules of thumb; see methodology.
