fiddled with Central heating
Tried to get the CH timings better. Maybe others have tried to change it when I was in hospital. Anyway it was a bit of a mess.
Summer time and winter time do not help. And the kit has changed a bit, and the controls for the ground floor are different from the upstairs.
Anyway all changed I think. Basically the assumption is that the ground floor needs central heating for breakfast and supper. While upstairs needs heating for waking up, and going to bed.
So mid day is the bit where an override may be needed. The study at the top has gas fires in two rooms always ticking over very gentle, and that can be switch up if needed. On the ground floor, the stove in the garage is ticking over and can be changed. The drawing room and playrooms are more difficult and only the playroom can be bolstered with a fire in the stove.
The boiler is set pretty low, partly for better efficiency, but also to prolong its life.
Stoves in dining room and play room are optional, of course.
I am not quite sure what the problems were when I came back, but the shift from summer time to winter time did not help.
The 10 oclock off for the bedrooms is perhaps generous, and that could be reduced if we get up earlier.
