Hi,
I have been learning about my Peerless MI-06 boiler and this forum has been an amazing resource - thank you. From what I have gathered here, is that it is overkill for our small house even though it is all brick with poor windows/insulation. I recently replaced the aquastat with a hydrostat for more adjustment - higher set point and eco mode to see if it will save a little money on gas.
We have a old lux500 thermostat and it does not seem to have swing adjustment like newer lux models. Our house starts to feel cold due to brick walls once the radiators cool and our thermostat waits about 1 degree too long before kicking in and so it 'feels' cold before comfortable again. Seems that if I can get a few more cycles it might stay comfortable longer. I know this because I can kick up a degree to cycle to take out chill then turn back down.
Do you recommend a thermostat that would play well with hydrostat?
Any recommended settings that work well with brick homes for this setup?
Thanks,
Anthony
