I'm a newbee and trying to get smart after having read thru my "Logamatic" Buderus controller manual. Background: came home to a cold house. Boiler temp showed 210 on Logamatic, below 140 on analog gage. Ordering new sensor. The (oil) boiler services the home's (hot) water as well as heat for forced air - 2 air handlers, 4 thermostat-controlled zones. I seem to have found an "emergency" method to run in manual mode with an analog (dial) to set boiler temp. So, this raised q's for me: in winter now, but with two kids (ages 4 &5) in the house, I need to come up with a boiler water temp. But, is that the same (in effect) as my "tap" hot water temp? Even though I have thermostats that can be set back at night and other times, does it make sense to set up a fancy "program" on the boiler? If so, what about my DHW. There seems to be an option for setting that as constant or have a program for that too. Are there some standards for these variables of DHW and Boiler temp. We typically run the active zones at 68-70 when home and set back to 62/63 during day (if vacant) and 65 for the sleeping floor at night (non sleep zones 63). Also, any solution for air handling for one of the kids' rooms that just doesn't seem to stay as warm as the rest of the sleeping floor zone other than electric room heat? Thx in advance and for helping out a rookie.
