I've got a Vaillant Eco TEC Plus 831, installed last year. I'm playing around with temps. It was set by the engineer at 60c target temp for water, and 60c for the rads.
The water always gets nice and hot. I was watching the blue display readout on the boiler as I ran the kitchen tap and it reached 70c. Why would it reach 70c with a target of 60c? I'm happy with the temperature but not sure why it goes 10c over the set temp.
The radiators are all on at the moment, newly installed at the same time as the Vaillant. They're all pretty hot now but I can easily keep my hand on them at 60c. That however doesn't go over the target temp. So I just increased the boiler temp to 70c for the rads. It's maximum goes to 75c. Now the rads feel just right, almost too hot to keep my hands on for too long. Does 70c seem right or too high? I set the thermostat (Salus RT500RF) to 23c and currently the room temp has reached 20c. I presume the higher I set the boiler temp, the faster I can achieve the selected room temp?
