Yet if your boiler is set at the wrong temperature you won t get the full.
Boiler water temp setting.
Boiler thermostats set the temperature of the water that will be pumped to the radiators.
At the setting shown if lo were set to 120 when the burner is re heating the boiler water and water temperature rises to 130 f the burner will turn off and the heating circulator pumps will be allowed to turn on and they will actually turn on if the room thermostat is calling for heat.
If the high limit temperature setting is too high generally over 200 degrees fahrenheit the system pressure will reach an excess condition as well and start leaking.
Please help thank you.
That is little energy is wasted heating water.
1 temperature setting is at b but water temperature is over 160.
If you can raise the temperature manually do not set it any higher than 210 f which is often the limit and try to remain down at 190 f if you need the extra heat.
Remember that the building thermostats set the desired temperature in the occupied spaces in building not the actual temperature in the heating boiler or furnace itself.
The average setting for a gas powered hot water boiler is 180 f.
Ideally a full set of controls will include a thermostat for the boiler a thermostat for each room and trvs thermostatic radiator valves.
In most heating systems turning up the thermostat simply causes the boiler or furnace to turn on.
3 setting temperature at a water temperature is below 100.
Hot water boiler systems also have a high limit temperature setting that triggers an automatic shutdown if the water temperature rises above that set point.
This provides the appropriate level needed for most cold weather temperatures.
The higher this is set the more energy will be used and the hotter your radiators will become.

In fact condensing boilers have efficiency levels of greater than 90.
Most modern boilers will have a digital dial that allows you to set the output temperature.
You shouldn t need to adjust these output temperatures as you may alter the boiler s efficiency.
