Boiler stoves

[muldonach]

I wouldn't like to be without the high temp stat, don't want system to boil. Was a bit concerned about pump coming in at low temps and putting cold water into a hot stove as has been mentioned in a previous post.

Are you still on the original stove?

 

Yep - at least 17 years old, had new front bars, new baffle plate and several new glasses but still functioning.

 

Fire is never left unattended unless throttled down and whn we are in the house the pump is left running

 

There is a lot of good advice and well meaning on this site but sometimes a loss of focus on heating a house as opposed to making a stove last as long as possible or sweeping a chimney as seldom as possible.

Aye, think you're right, had a play with stats, rads on more often and house warmer, hot water not so hot. Just need to find the balance.

Thanks for your help. Cheers mull.
