    Have tried lower settings but the rooms took longer to get to a comfortable temperature. If having background heating on 24hrs maybe a lower temp would work. But prefer to target heat the rooms in use when I need.

    House has Cavity Wall, Underfloor & loft insulation, A+ glazing, Composite door. So it helps keep heating costs down.

    BAXI – What temperature should my boiler be set at in winter?
    We all want to stay cosy in the winter. Some cosier than others. There’s no magic number for the ideal temperature. If you’re looking for a good balance of warmth and efficiency, you want to set your boiler to at least 65°C. Setting it a few degrees higher won’t hurt. But it’s important not to set it any lower than that. This is so bacteria in the water doesn’t grow, and cause nasty things like Legionella.
