Re: Home heating oil
I was advised by my boilerman that the best way to control the heating system is not by upping the Thermostat(means more oil consumption, he maintains leaving it at 60 degrees) but to utilise the timer switch, by this he reckoned I should set the heating to come on at whatever time, for, say, an hour, and then off for half hour, on for an hour etc etc, or say, two hours, then off one hour on two hours etc etc, after the heating has been on for an hour or two hours or whatever you choose the house is about to be cooled when the heating kicks in again.
He reckons it's the most efficient use of the system, rather than say, putting the thermostat up to 75 or 80 degrees and leaving it run straight.
Hope this helps
