Hi, have installed a new boiler stove. It's a Nestor Martin Stanford 140B. Installed with 1" pipes, 3 speed pump and also stat located near stove.
Linked into existing sytem of 300L triple coil cylinder. We've OFCH & 60 solar tubes. Haven't had oil on since last Fri.
From 9am this morning fire was going & solar generating but rads did not start to get warm until 12 noon. Even at 12 the rads are only reaching cool to luke warm. Was a bit dissapointed after investing so much in this new system.
Noticed last night that the hw cylinder was reading 65 deg but this morning 55. This had been set to dump heat to rads once tank temp reaches over 65.
Looking for advice on where we could be losing this heat & should the rads be getting warmer than this without the oil?
Sorry should add house is 2600 sq ft, 15 rads in total. 8 large, 4 medium & 3 small. Some turned off.
Thanks
