Hey all,
I had a condensing boiler installed last year and everything seems fine so far. I understand that condensing boilers reach maximum efficiency when they run for prolonged periods....better to heat water at a low temperature over a longer period. In this light, are condensing boilers more efficient as the temperature drops since they should be on for longer periods?
My boiler is controlled by an outdoor thermostat and the pumps are controlled seperately through the indoor thermostat. That is, I set the indoor thermostat to 73 and until the temperature reaches 73 the pumps won't shut off but the boiler may be on or off. Is this a good way of opearting the system?
thanks
