Boiler settingsWith a condensing boiler what is liable to be the difference in energy efficiency between a low and high setting? Mine has a rotary control and I have no idea where to set it

Have you considered reading the manual?

If you were a chav you'd set it to the highest output and wear shorts and t-shirts all winter.

Won't alter the temp as that is controlled by a thermostat! I guess you would need high out if you set the thermostat too high, but is it efficient to have it maxed anyway. I'd actually guess it should be set as low as it can be, whilst supplying the needed heat and hot water.

At a wild guess - In the middle. until someone with a working knowledge comes along.

I was under the impression that condensing boilers needed to be running fairly hot to get the efficiency gains from them. I remember reading that one of the reasons people aren't happy with them is that plumbers still tend to install over-specced condensing boilers which are then not working hard enough to do the condensing thang properly.

Our trusty plumber said that they should be run as hot as possible to make them work efficiently, ours is set at 8, just so the hot water doesn't take your skin off and when he tested it this year with his all singing all dancing monitor thingy, it came out at 98% efficient, so I guess that's good news
