While they are there, I'd ask them to advise you where the various dials should be reading so you'll know if they are out of whack again, but I don't think boiler control adjustments are a good fit for DIY. | |

| Feb 5, 2021 at 0:59 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | I would not start with "fans on the radiators" - I would start with making sure that the system is performing as intended - there might be air bubbles leading to reduced flow in the radiators, there might be balancing valves that need to be adjusted, the system temperature or pressure may not be as intended. | |

| Feb 5, 2021 at 0:14 | comment | added | George Anderson | Yeah, + on that answer. I think the boiler might be cycling properly (the OP said that pipes where hot), but they just don't have sufficient radiation capacity to heat the home. That and/or not enough insulation, drafts, leaks, maybe single pane windows could be contributing to the inability of the system to maintain setpoint. | |
