A question about : Halve your heating costs

One point from a workshop I attended this weekend.

Paul Mobb recommends the power of the wrist.

1.Get a screw driver and turn the thermostat on the hot water tank down to 55 degrees rather than the 70 it is set at presently. Hot enough to run a bath/shower without adding cold water.

2. When you are at home, operate the heating at 18 degrees in the day time and at 14 degrees at night

Those two actions will save you about half your heating costs.

A question about : Boiler control question

Hi,

I was trying to reduce the themostat on my boiler to 60c. At the moment the water that comes out it is far too hot to use, which is silly and a waste. But it doesn't seem to have a thermostat, or any other controls I can find for that matter other than an on/off switch.

Any ideas?
