Ask the installer for a commissioning check; the causes are usually flow temperature, hot water settings, or sizing, all listed below.
seriousFlow temperature runs at about 51.6 °C when it is 0 °C outside
Lower the heating curve in steps of 2 °C and check rooms still reach target. Every 1 °C lower typically saves 2–3% electricity.
infoUnit is rated 12 kW but the house needs about 5.9 kW at −3 °C
Oversizing causes cycling in mild weather. Cannot be fixed cheaply now, but the curve and minimum run time can limit the damage.

valueReaching the fleet’s January median (3.69) would have saved about £20 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.
