    This has been so helpful since moving into our new home, thank you - the comfort setting has been costing us and didn't even know about it. All I need to do now is find a user manual for the Danfoss RX1 box underneath it - no idea what this is for or how to use it!!!

    We keep our central heating temperature at 50°c and it slowly heats up the house just fine, we simply had to adapt our thermostat timings so that it can have more time to get to the target temperature

    Thanks for this great video. I have one question about the settings though. When following your instructions on saving temperature settings, my boiler (Ecotec plus) does not display OK and cancel on the display at any time. The temperature display continues to flash after changing it. if I press the right button it just goes to the comfort setting. If I just leave it to set itself, it never does. Am I missing something?

      Firstly it is a combination boiler? Do you have 5 pipes coming off the bottom of the boiler? if you only have 3 then you have a different boiler. You probable have a hot water tank. If so you need your boiler central heating set to 60 degrees. Also check the thermoset on the hot water tank. Should be set between 50 and 60 degrees.

    On my Vaillant system the hot water cylinder tank in separate in the garage. It’s heated by gas but is wired in also. I wanted to see the cost difference in heating on electric instead of gas but switching on the electric feed to it seems to make no difference to the gas usage. Do I need to tell the system to use electric instead of gas for the hot water?

  • @TheWenduine
    @TheWenduine Рік тому

    Hi, thank you for the video. I recently bought a Vaillant EcoTec plus boiler which has been set to weather dependent mode by the installer. At the moment I often have the problem that due to this setting, the temperature of the target flow is rather low which causes the room to stay half a degree below the setpoint while the pump keeps going. After a while the radiators are cold but the pump is still running because the setpoint isn't reached. Could u tell me how I can switch the control to a fixed target flow temperature like u use in the video? Thx in advance!

    Excellent video, thank you. I had this boiler installed today along with the hive thermostat. I had to go to work with the engineers still in situ so I can’t prove if this worked. I set the boost function 45 minutes before I went home, and sure enough the heating was on. However, I can’t switch the heating off with the app or the thermostat. After watching your video, the only way I can switch it off is by setting the boiler temperature. The black radiator symbol is flashing. (As a footnote, they had to remove cupboard covers to enable a proper installation and they asked me if they would like to dispose of them. When I came home, they were still there along with much of the other waste that they should of disposed of). Your assistance would be much appreciated.
