I have a veissman Vitodens 100 boiler that was fitted about two years ago by an approved viessman installer.
I've felt that recently it wasn't really getting the water hot enough in the bathroom and it's taking an age to heat the house.
Today has been a pretty mild day (approx 12 degrees outside). We had the thermostat set for 17 degrees from 9am till 5pm and then 23 degrees onwards. It's now 8:45 and it is reporting the room temperature as 18.5. Which means a 1.5 degree rise in just under four hours.
I'm thinking that the boiler and thermostat should know it has some work to do to get upto the required temperature but none of the rads are anywhere near too hot to touch. Looking at the panel on the boiler it's only showing level 1 ECO. Am I right in thinking the boiler should be working hard until it gets to the temperature we want (i.e. 23 degrees) and then just working to top up when needed? The boiler's display shows a maximum of 72 and then dips back down to 50 before building back up again.
We ran a bath last night and although the water was warm, it was never 'hot'. The temperature on the boilers control panel read 62 degrees up until the tap was turned off (about twenty minutes).
I contacts the installer at the beginning of winter as we were struggling to get any heat in the house and he told me that I would need to have the boiler on all day to ensure that the house is hot enough in the evening. I've recently got a farely large gas bill! So I'm not sure if this advice was the best or most economical.
Any help or advice would be massively appreciated here...
